Why
I've been in a very noncreative mood recently. Not a mood for novels or journals; a mood for television and videogames. Barely in a mood for music; more in a mood for news. (In what may or may not be unrelated news, music by Tori Amos and Bjork scared me today.) I need some real stimulation. I need someone to massage my mind. Or my body, actually. Both, preferably.
There's a puzzle party this weekend, which hopefully will perk me up. And speaking of puzzles and perking up, I must now begin my plans to return to Boston/Cambridge for the 2004 NPL Convention. The convention proper is July 8-11, but the convention improper is apparently going to begin as early as July 3. (This unofficial program will undoubtedly be aided by the high number of NPL members already in the area. I'd give figures, but my directory is at home.) I'm interested to see what gets whipped up before the con, since I'm going to be helping to do that sort of unofficial program next year, when the convention is held in Los Angeles. On the other hand, I'm not sure if I want to dedicate so much resources (money, vacation time). On the other other hand, I've been noticing that, even outside of the NPL, I have started knowing more and more people in Boston, and it might be fun to get a chance to hang out with them before my time is monopolized by the NPL.
Does anyone living in or near Boston have any input on that week before?
ThuNYTX: 11. Lots of fun. ThuLATX: 8.

Interestingly, Cliff Johnson is also a SoCal member of the NPL, though we haven't been able to get him to one of our minimeets yet.

Ok, now that that is out of my system.
The great thing about coming on July 3rd is that the next day is July 4th and July 4th in Boston is AWESOME. The whole city heads to the river where folks sit all day along the banks, playing games, reading books, listening to music, etc waiting for the fireworks and the Boston Pops (who do a free concert every year, followed by some pop-star). I would imagine that there might be some sort of Krewe gathering along the river. If you have never experienced Boston 4th of July, then you totally should come out here early, it is tons of fun.

BOSCON
I'm going to go early too... and stay late. My big vacation for the year. Lots of Krewe and non-Krewe to visit. We will hang. See you this weekend!
