...seriously, not a peep about Blacksun Festival this year, not even a mention that the event isn't happening. Then, C15 on the Queen Mary in Long Beach, CA with a cap of 300 attendees??? That 300 cap sounds awfully optimistic (to their credit, they did mention it will be great to get at least 150 attendees) but seriously, Long Beach??? Doesn't appear to be much of a call for DJs this year and they mention they already booked their live band. BAND? As in, singular??? They don't mention any line up for it yet (it's not happening until July so I guess that's not too bad) but seriously, this year is turning out to be teh suck as far as travelling seems to go. So far it appears I'm grounded for the time being with no trips planned to LA or SF while the company cuts costs.
By the time I would be required on a trip to SF that office will have relocated to LA (yup, they're packing them up and consolidating them with operations down there.) So rather than a trip to SF, it's looking more like a trip to LA will probably happen in the summer. Lovely.
IML is not happening this year for me. Plane tix are still pretty stiff for that weekend to Chicago and I'm not in much of a mood to finance a trip for 2 on plastic this year. MAL was an odd one this year so it looks like I'll be looking at vacation plans closer to home this year if I take any time at all. What a strange year this is going to be while everyone holds their breath hoping for the best.
In other news, speaking of things closer to home, I think I may be able to get the derby on and head down to the Charm City vs. Gotham Girls bout in April. Finding ways to talk the boyfriend into it and think he'll be game for it. Would definitely be good to get the chance to see
dayglodivine since I think it may be as long ago as last May that I saw her last. Wow, time is just flying by...
