I don't think I can do this and a week long trip to Phoenix, and a week off to go to Ragnarok all in 3 months. Fuck the summer with all these trips and bullshit.

I feel like I should splurge on something to celebrate graduation, and maybe this will be it! Put me down for a maybe?

The cheapest flight to SF I found is with Lufthansa German Airlines for £703.68 and involves a 19 hour stop in Montreal.

I think I'll skip this one.

A 19 hour stop in Montreal makes this trip almost 300% more appealing.

Everyone should make a stopover in Montreal.

i dunno, i've gotten a lot of visits since moving to vancouver. with this trend i feel pretty confident that if i just wait long enough and don't go anywhere pretty much every single person will end up stopping by at one point or another.

actually yeah on second thought, let's just do what we did for tronnocon where everybody just meets up in the city i already live in. it's a lot easier for me.

I already met one. They're confused by revolving doors and wear bright underwear. It's about as interesting as a 5 year old.

I have met two Australians! They were both awesome! I am sad that I can't meet the other two, but California is very far away and I too need to work over the summer to help pay for school.

This is when I hit myself over the head for giving up a full time job. I miss making money and travelling. In a two year break I went to Tronno, Boston, Chicago, and then Boston again to hang out with you guys. And then various other places with meat life friends. I miss travelling so much! I miss you guys too.

Jason and I will be there for part of it, maybe not all of it. We live about 2 hours out from the city and can drive in for a day or two.

Things to do:
-dim sum in Chinatown. I like Gold Mountain... I have brought many white people there and they were all terrified. I suppose Chinatown is nice too, if you like shopping for weird useless items.
-Haight-Ashbury. I feel like most of you could spend a whole day in Amoeba easily.
-Alcatraz. Tickets are pricey, but it's actually a nice way to spend the day. I found it interesting.
-Muir Woods. Not too far outside the city and some nice easy hiking through redwood groves.
-San Francisco Giants vs. Milwaulkee Brewers 7/22-7/24

Oh yeah I can totally understand wanting to go to ComicCon

I mean, it's loud, crowded, smells bad, consists of mile long lines to see bored celebrities(and there are lines just to get a chance to be in those lines), and expensive. Who wouldn't love that.
