Mamamontezz's Mental Rumpus Room

Decisions, decisions...

Do I go to Dallas in March to meet the Lone Star State's Texas Bloggers, or do I go to Jekyl Island in April for the Spring Jawja Blogfest? It's a difficult decision.

I can drive to either place in about 15 hours (including the obligatory coffee and coffee-release stops) so we're talking an overnight roadtrip either way. And I'd have help, because the Spousal Unit wants to come along and can split the driving.

I believe that I could find lodging in either place, but who sleeps at these things anyway? Hell, I can sleep in the car if I have to, in the small time between periods of drunken debauchery and periods of shit-shooting. Like I said, who sleeps at these things?

With an average range of about 300 miles per tank of gas, I can do either trip with 6 fill-ups, so the cost is a lot less than flying. Round trips to either place come out to just over $250 per person. I can buy enough gas for both of us for what one airline ticket costs.

The 1986 Toyota pick-up would make it easily, and all it needs is brakes and a new back tire. And the old 1984 Tempo would make it too, and all it needs is an exhaust pipe. Okay, it needs a whole new exhaust system. I believe the 1984 Grand Prix would make it, but Spousal Unit isn't so sure.

I can do one, I can't do both. It's a quandry. The devils bloggers I know, or the devils bloggers I don't know? I'll have to give this a lot of thought. Truth to the matter is, I won't be going to either one. There just isn't any way under the current circumstances, but it sure is nice to think about.
