present aches; future plans

[sistawendy]

I've got another spasm in my back, my bunion has been twinging, and it turns out I'm not quite as healed up down there as I said I was a few months ago. I'm hoping these are minor, temporary setbacks.

From the Dept. of Future Happiness: I've booked an Airbnb in San Francisco for 9/25 through 9/30. I'll be all by my lonesome, aside from those times when I can meet up with the Tickler and her other sweetie S, Burner buddies, college chums, and those of you imaginary internet people* who live in the Bay Area.

This time I'll be staying much closer to the fair, so I'm hoping for more walking and fewer ride shares. I'm doing this my way, not the Siberian Siren's.

Now that I've re-read my entries from my trip in '17, it's occurred to me that flying out the day after the fair and its ensuing debauchery may be a bit brutal, but I didn't really feel like spending Monday there. I will, of course, hit Amoeba Music & SFMoMA before the fair. And this time I'm flying in & out of OAK.

Weirdly, this imaginary internet person will be in Seattle that weekend :(

But you're still thinking of going to the Vampire Ball in Portland? Bec. I'll be there!

Well, shoot. Murphy's Law.

Not just thinking. Ticket acquired, hotel booked, outfit chosen and accessorized. Aw, yeah.

W00t for VMBPDX then!

I also have my plane tix & am staying w/transplanted Bay Area friends :)

"imaginary internet people*"

I refer to them as the friends who live inside my computer. :-)

We flew in/out of OAK on our trip in late 2017. Good choice, I think.

Yeah, SFO is prone to weather-related closures, and it’s just as far from where I’m staying as OAK. Both are on BART.

OAK is easy and the new BART extension is pretty cool. The trade-off for me is that there’s way more PDX flights in and out of SFO (Seattle might fare a little better since you’re the hub). I’ve had good luck with avoiding delays, but last night my flight back was pushed back 30 min because the pilots were still en route from Austin. At least they didn’t cancel!
