ON THE ROAD AGAIN

Tomorrow we're on the road. Gah. We're going to beautiful and scenic, Oswego, NY. WHY would I go to Oswego, NY?? The East Coast A Cappella Summit, that's why! Try to contain your excitement. The East Coast Summit could easily be named the GEEK SUMMIT, and you and I both know that. We also both know that I am a 34 yr old, a cappella singing GEEK, hence my attendance and performance there. Maybe I'll play parcheesi and do some math equations while there too. You know, just for good measure.

Mapquest says it's a 5 hour and 40 min trip from my house. In band time, that means more like 8 hours. We always stop for food, and have to make many a pee stop for me, because I'm old with a small bladder and a love for water. I am so NOT looking forward to this drive, but luckily I'll have both my laptop and my cool portable DVD player with me! I also got a new IPOD for my birthday which I should definitely load up with with some good road trip music. I am all new-millenium techno, yo. Ok, see above GEEK reference.

So, I did a search for a photo of Oswego and found this:



You know what's NOT comforting before leaving on a long-ass roadtrip? Seeing a photo of the town you're driving to, and having said town look just like a giant iceburg, that's what. Hell, there's probably PEOPLE buried under there!

My only respite is knowing that we'll likely be stopping at Denny's, where I will indulge in my favorite SUPERBIRD sandwich. I even love the name of it. Well, that and the fact that I have wisely chosen to get my own hotel room this time. I'll be sleeping alone and snoring loudly with no one to make fun of me. So there!

Despite all my bitching, I'm sure it's going to be a fun weekend. I just hate the DRIVE. By this time tomorrow, I'll be having cocktails in the lounge with a bunch of other a cappella geeks. So y'all have a great weekend....talkatcha next week!
