ok, so i think i've got the next week cleared out pretty well.

next friday is probably empty.

saturday is torche/baroness, as well as a marching band show in the park in the afternoon. there will be another marching band show in a different park on sunday afternoon, and then sunsquabi in the evening. so, that's a good weekend, and i might take it all in one chunk.

i'm going to hope that clearing out the week is good enough, and that i can plan to go in one day next week sometime around the middle of the week. i have the day picked out, and it works out because the show that the band is playing in detroit is sold out, i'm just iffy on buying tickets until i see the exact nature of the case i'm building. i mean, i have a pretty good idea, but i don't want to buy a ticket to toronto and then realize i missed something.

i was considering going over for the weekend just for the experience, but that's actually pretty unnecessary. it was built around the idea of the screaming females show being in london, and working around it, but it's on a sunday so it kind of doesn't actually work. if i go in early on a weekday morning, i should be able to serve everybody through the day, see a show at night, catch the early morning bus to london, file, and then be home by the next afternoon. this is a long day, no doubt, but i shouldn't need to take two or even three nights of lodgings on top of everything else, that way.

so, unless i get this done very quickly, tonight should probably be my last night out for a solid week. and, i need to get a move on it.
