in Boston, and at least it's not snowing... (...yet.)

[iridium]

Matilda, desultor, and i made it to Boston late last night, just in time for me to catch nacht_musik and coraline and go to 400 Highland in Davis for dinner. a fine way to finish this stretch of travelling.

we arrived in New York yesterday evening, fought through some nasty horrible traffic that caused Matilda to overheat for a second or two just before the Holland Tunnel, drove through Chinatown and across Manhattan, and managed to find our way to Wonderland in Queens. driving an enormous old stationwagon across NYC is...well, really, a bit ridiculous. or terrifying. or something. but fortunately desultor is an excellent navigator, and even managed to get us out of NYC again at ~5pm on a Monday without getting caught in any horrible traffic. at least not until we got to Connecticut, but at least the parkway was a pretty drive.

less than 24 hours in NYC, and now i'm in Somerville, well-fed and well-rested, and it's time to get out and wander a bit.

if you're in the area: call me, or send email, if you want to catch up and hang out. and/or come find me at Roast, because there will be fire and music and stories. i'll most likely be heading out of town again, westbound, at the end of next week, so find me before then.

banzai!

i didn't get to see much of you, and i'm headed out tomorrow...but thank you. that means a hell of a lot to me. it's been a very good visit.

*hug*

i'm glad you had a good time, & enjoyed what i did get to see of you :) should i try to be more aggressive next time we're in the same timezone? i do tend to book up fast, and will generally select a smaller gathering every tme over a larger one (there's that social-anxiety thing on my end...ah well.)

*HUGS* and safe travel!

*nod* yeah, that's probably a good idea. the days fly by, otherwise, and there are always more people that i'd like to spend time with than i ever manage to see. :)

not sure when i'll be in boston next, but i'll let you know whenever the next visit gets planned. do you know whether or not you'll be going out to Burning Man this year? (it's looking pretty unlikely on my end, but i'm keeping the possibility open.)

please *keep* it not snowing, as syracuse & boston have an alarming tendency to share snowstorms, & i really really really really really don't want any more of those now that it finally looks like spring here!

yeah, i'm hoping the weather looks a little better as i head west. it's been wet and wet and wet here.

plan is to head out tomorrow late morning/early afternoon. i'll give you a call when we're on the road. :)
see you soon!
