overload of awesomeness

[desh]

Okay, so next year, the Havurah Institute is a week later than usual, from August 7th-13th. I knew this already.

What I didn't know until just now is that Folk Fest just got moved to be a week earlier than usual, to be the third weekend in August. This makes sense, because so many people can't go to Fest because of when their college starts, and now even some Philly-area high schools, which have always traditionally started after Labor Day, are earlier. Except this is crazy for me because the Monday beforehand, when I'd usually go up to the Fest site, is now the DAY AFTER Institute.

So barring wedding- (Dear everyone: Please never get married in August. Thanks.) or employment-related reasons that might keep me from attending both events next year, it looks like my August of Awesomeness 2006 will be condensed into a two-week mid-August brain-breaking socially-overloaded emotion-fucking-with crazy-transition-ful Awesomeness Of A Lifetime, so titled because it may not be survivable.

djembe_boy, conana, deled, you with me? How about you, hubkub and benjifus?

ok sorry definitely hadn't read your last entry when I posted the above... so if you're going to the concert I'd love to go with you but we'll see. let me know when I would need to be in philly to go to the concert sunday, and when I'd need to be there just to go to fest. ok ciao.

Yeah, you totally have a ride with me. When did we leave for Fest last year? I think it was like 3:30pm Monday? I want to do about the same this year. So as long as you can get to my house or 30th by then, that's fine. Coming earlier is fine too, though I'll probably be packing.

As for the concert, I'm not sure if my car is full. I invited a bunch of people whom I haven't heard back from yet. But we could probably squeeze you in even if they all come, eh? We'll talk.

Which, Dar or Fest? Please tell me you mean both...

[intangiblehugs.livejournal.com]

nope, just dar :)
various people have halfheartedly tried to get me to come to fest over the years, and I've never really gotten so excited about it. someday...

So barring wedding- or employment-related reasons

Awesome as it may be, my current schedule reads some of these reasons in there already. . .
