Mark your calendars now!

I have a conflict. Well, it's not so much a conflict, and an event that supercedes what is typically one of the bigger trainwrecks on my fall calendar.

My friends Sonia and Jason are getting married. And it's on the Saturday of Queen's Homecoming.

That's fine... neither of them went to Queen's, and it's not like any of us even considered for a moment blowing off (what we hope is) a once-in-a-lifetime event for a yearly shindig... but I'm also the type of person who likes to have his cake and eat it too. As such, I have the following proposition:

Move homecoming.

Well, at least for some of us... for anyone that would have liked to go to homecoming, but due to wedding related priorities will not be able to attend, I am proposing October 20-21-22 as the new homecoming. I've checked it out, and there's a home football game that weekend, too.

I plan to burn up what little lieu time I have left after getting back from Cali, and hit up Ritual, followed by morning drinking, football, etc. Basically, regular homecoming without the lines, and (ideally) without the extra security.

I fail to see the downside here.....

PS: Stay tuned for more "have my cake and eat it too" solutions, when I attempt to devise how I'm going to get to Oktoberfest again this year without my mum disowning me for blowing off Thanksgiving two years in a row.... :)
