tough call

[fflo]

So, I'm all psyched about

,
but now I see that what I thought was next weekend,

,
is actually Saturday, too, unless it rains.

What's a girl to do?? I'm thinking both. There's a big antique/garage sale in Royal Oak, too, but it can hardly compete. And it blows me away how many queer things are happening in association with the Gay Games in Chicago <--click only if you're prepared for a giant colorful .pdf of "cultural affiliated events". I also had an invite to join some people just inside Canada that I was sorely tempted to clear the decks for. What a fruitful weekend, with so many ripe options for picking and indulgently partaking of.

May be harder to decide about NOLOSE and the Geraldine R. Dodge Poetry Festival. They don't compete with each other in time, but each'd cost a few pennies.

Since I don't believe in soothsayers & crystal balls, I really oughta work on this business of making decisions from my own take/POV under my own authority and in accordance with my own gut & my own mind. ---Hmmm. Put that way it seems as if maybe it can be a complicated sort of task, so maybe it's not so embarrassing that I don't have it down already.

Come to my place Saturday evening.

See? Another very inviting option... I saw your post about it & meant to say Saturday is already overwhelming. And I didn't even mention the roller derby I turned down going along for.

Cool shades, btw, Danger Dan.

Puppets! Beer! Music! Art!

Good points, all. I can't not go, let's face it. It's the Ypsi Anti-ArtFair Art Fair. And even if I thought I could skip it, your Unibomber icon has a certain air of ---well, Ted would hate it if I called it "authority"...

I can recall being a teenager and saving money for months in anticipation of the Royal Oak garage sale. Some of my all-time greatest finds have been either from there or the farmer's/flea market in...I want to say Madison Hieghts. It's too bad I don't get out to that area anymore, but it's kind of an Ann Arbor Jr anyway. ;-}

Hmm. Maybe I can get hooked up with that flea market. Or I guess I could go to Royal Oak, then Ypsi, then back to Detroit... then over to Dan's... then go out and make a million dollars... (you know, while I'm at it) (old joke with the now-spy friend)

LOL

I'll be interested to hear how that all works out!

The way the shark comes back & eats the date in this icon of yours... THAT was an scare-the-cat LOL for me...

[wednes.livejournal.com]

LOL Thanks.

I was cracking myself up!

so many things to do this weekend! i'm going to the celtic festival tomorrow. also hear that the rolling sculpture thing is happening downtown tonite,but i am going to a hafla and baking a cheesecake instead.

for the benefit of anybody else who needs a gloss

I looked it up:

Hafla -- a party/celebration with music, food, dancing and sometimes drinking

(It's Arabic.)

Shake it, onstar! And, when it comes to the cheesecake, bake it!

p.s.

Here's a cool site on having a hafla. I particularly like the contest category of "the most injured still dancing dancer."

(In the hafla spirit, I made a new icon for this comment. You like?)

I think you should come and visit me again. You could come to Jeff's comedy act tonight. Then we'll head back to your place for Royal Oak, then the fair, then Detroit, then spend the evening with Dan (that is, if he doesn't mind a gate-crasher). Then go out and make a million dollars... (you know, while we're at it). Then we'll rub that in the face of the old spy friend.

[fflo.livejournal.com]

ha! We might need more than a million to rub in his face. A million ain't what it used to be. Hell, his house is worth more than half a mill'...
