Chicago? Pittsburgh? Hmmmm. ::whimper::

Oy. Chicago's the mecca of the tour for us midwest LJ-ers, it seems. But here's the thing. I need a new roof. Pittsburgh is closer and cheaper. WAAAAAH! For once, though, time off work won't be a problem. Told the boss lady on Monday that I want time off sometime in early May. So yay! That's cool. We even chatted about how nice it is to meet up with friends. ;-) So.

What I need to do is put the costs down side by side and then make a decision. Yes. Here goes.

you're very welcome to camp out in my living room. My apartment's about a fifteen minute walk to the HOB, so it works out well. *g*

Dude. DUDE. If you're serious, I'm very, very tempted to take you up on that offer. That'd knock $250.00-$300.00 off the trip. Dude. DUUUUUUUUUUUUDE!!!! Okay, I think I'm excited. :-)

Are you going to the show?

I have never been more serious in my LIFE. ;)

Seriously, though. My apartment's big enough, and I wouldn't mind at all - I'd love to meet you. I just have to confirm the date of a trip I'm planning on taking to make sure that it isn't on May 7th. If it isn't, then I'm definitely going to the show. I can find out in the next few days, I think, and tell you. So, yes. Come to Chicago!

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! This sounds good! I'll wait until you've confirmed your dates and stuff. Eeee! I can go ahead and buy the show ticket - I can sell it if something comes up. Whee! Yes, let me know. And thank you! This should be fun.
