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.

I know we don't know each other, but if you decide on Pittsburgh, you're welcome to crash at my house.


Squee! Thank you! If the pendulum swings Pitt's way (sorry Poe fans, I couldn't resist), I'll definitely take you up on the offer. Thank you! :-)


You know the venue in Pittsburgh is outdoors, right? It's May, it's a weekend, it's Pittsburgh. :cough: rain :cough:
