Curious conflict
May. 15th, 2007 01:49 amHmmm. I got an email today concerning my high school ten-year reunion. I had begun to think it had already passed; I mean, shouldn't the reunion be held on the anniversary of graduation, I thought? And wasn't that this month or something? But it seems they've decided to hold it on Labor Day weekend:
"The class of ’97 voted and the majority chose Labor Day weekend. Therefore, your presence is requested Friday, August 31st through Monday, September 3 in South Texas! Start making travel plans now so you can be there for the socializing and fun!"
When I first read that, I thought, "Cool! That happens to overlap my birthday! And it happens to include a holiday weekend! That'll be a great opportunity to go home before Christmas. That'd be nice." Then I realize that's the weekend of Dragon*Con, which I've already committed to. Not only that, but I've been wavering on my con plans for that weekend. Star's going to A-Fest in Dallas and that alone is a big enough draw for me to consider reneging on my commitments. Not to mention it'd be a lot cheaper and easier to do.
D*C is in the lead, of course. I just find it amusing and frustrating that all these things will be happening simultaneously. I have to choose between the big, wild out-of-state con or the cheaper Texas con with my girlfriend, or the once-a-decade reunion with my old friends (and birthday with my family).
Hmm.
