And yet more decisions

[thessalian]

The cat is on such huge amounts of crack. I hope she settles down soon -- I did eventually manage to get some kip but not quite enough to be dealing with Little Miss Crack-Whore. (Well, she's the tart, she's on crack, what else am I going to call her?)

Currently trying to cheer myself up by thinking holiday. On the one hand, GenCon in about six months or so. On the other hand, I miss leopard_lady and it's her turn to be visited (the WCB had me last year). So Indianapolis or New York? *sigh*

Of course, my question is currently, why Indianapolis? GenCon's moving to Anaheim in November and if I had my druthers (which I suppose I do, but it's not the same without a group), I'd be going to that one. That way I could have a two-birds-one-stone holiday; a few days at GenCon and then head north to do some visiting. And, were I truly lucky, I might even be able to get some of my long-standing American friends to meet these 'new' people I keep talking about. Also would give various of us more time to save up for it, but that's another thing.

On the other hand ... I've never been to Indiana -- lots and lots of other states, but not Indiana. Not that I expect there to be very much in Indianapolis, mind you, but it'd be nice to say that I've actually been. And besides, were I to set foot in Anaheim, the temptation would be to firebomb the home of the Mighty Fucks of Anaheim. Well, I'm still bitter. Movie tie-in hockey teams backed by the Disney bankroll should not be getting to the Stanley Cup finals. If you want to skate and be affiliated with Disney, go be in Toy Story on Ice, already.

See? Possibly safer in Indianapolis. I don't think they have a hockey team.

Indy is a nice place to visit, though in fairness we've never been there longer than Wednesday through to Sunday of GenCon week. But they really seem to appreciate the hordes of gamers ;)

(PS Main GenCon is staying in Indy for the foreseeable future; GenCon SoCal is a new event, first one being last year as far as I recall.)

i can tell you one thing worse than movie tie-in disney backed hockey teams getting to the finals...

NO HOCKEY AT ALL.

Anaheim. Definitely Anaheim.

Indianapolis is nowhere, daddy-o. At least if you went to Anaheim, you'd be within striking distance of Los Angeles and Santa Barbara. Not to mention San Francisco, San Diego...you get the idea.

You can get a multiple-day Amtrak pass which will allow you to take the Surfliner (San Diego to Santa Barbara) and/or the Coast Starlight (goes all the way up the coast from the Mexican to the Oregon border) all around California for one price.

It's not as good as the Britrail or Eurail pass, but it's good for almost a month's worth of travel.
