Sunday!, Sunday!, Sunday!
This Sunday, I’ll be at Cobo, with my official AN Press Pass all shined up for the Press Days at the North Am. Auto Show. I’ve been told I’ll be spending the majority of my time on the floor, taking photos of the vehicles. I -love- hearing that. Finally, my mad visual skillz0rz have been recognicized for their true value!
Or, my boss couldn’t be buggered. Either way.
Meanwhile – I haraunged Ben into going to the Star Wars symphony production at the DSO on Sunday the 22nd, 3pm. There aren’t many seats left, if you’re interested in going, and the largest grouping I saw was three, so get your ass in gear if it’s up your alley.
Which reminds me, I hate the DSO ordering system. At first, it looks beautiful, allowing you to click on the seats you want, but it doesn’t let you leave an isolated seat in a row. Meaning, if you’re a group of two and that leaves one free in the row, it won’t let you order, even if that’s the last grouping of two in your pay range. If you’re ONE PERSON and there’s TWO SEATS available in the row (not even consecutively), it won’t let you order.
However: Attempting to technologically railroad me into a higher price point is unacceptable. I squint my eyes just so, and mutter, “…the fuck, you will!” and I will have my way. It’s the impoliteness of it all. I’m trying to give you my money!
So I set Ben’s computer to order one ticket, Have my laptop order the remaining two seats, and back out of the first order, leaving a seat behind, and getting my way, with a heartfelt upturned finger toward the programmer.
Finally: I’ll be at ConFusion this year, folks, so if you were waffling about going, now’s your chance to make your time, as they say. I wonder what trouble I can get into this year, being single? ;)~
DSO!
YES! People to join me and natter endlessly with about hte music? Or, I’ll natter and you can listen, either way I’m happy. :)
Where are you sitting? We should carpool and plan and all that good stuff. :)
I’m cool. :) Since I’ll be in Troy of course, Ben will probably have to drive himself.
Ben is a huge Star Wars freak, though not as much with the accessories, as well as a huge movie soundtrack freak, so I’m sure it will be interesting.
We’re sitting on the main floor, AA I think, slightly to the left. The seats on the balcony were too much of a pain in the ass, and there weren’t any left that were next to each other.
I’m in the balcony, row H I think. We’ll have to meet somewhere.
My Music Lover self and my SW Geek self are both incredibly excited!
Still waffling about ConFusion. It’s a toss up between that and SCA Winter Revel.
i, too am single. it’s a recent development.
:\ I’m sorry to hear that, though things seemed to be coming to a head, last time we spoke. Coffee or maybe breakfast?
Breakfast sucks, dude. Maybe dinner sometime again, preferrably not in the middle of monster-force snowstorms.
I dunno, it was pretty entertaining to watch you waffle between self-preservation and the prevailing need to go targetting. ;)
I’m available for dinner, particularly most weekday evenings. Cheeeeeeesy biscuits!
