Well, it's pretty much official- there will be no going to the Flipside this year. It takes too much time and money and effort for what looks to be very limited return. They seem to have a problem with people camping in their car, and make them park beyond even the parked cars people aren't camping in. Plus there's just going to be so many effing people there, that land is not really meant to hold more than 600-700 or so comfortably and there will probably be over 1000. Sure it's fun to go camping where there will be friends. But to pay $120 to park in a parking lot a mile away from facilities and where our friends will be... it just doesn't seem like it would be fun for us. In addition it appears someone's already asked off for Memorial Day where I work. So, sorry, burners- let me know if there are smaller (and cheaper) events.
In the meantime, my dad's been bugging me to try to come visit him. He finally said he'd pay for us to fly out there- which is about the only way we could manage, since the time off alone is going to cost. Hub said he'd be willing to take the time off, and it looks like flights to Page Arizona are even cheaper than ones to Atlanta (though if we want to do it in less than 7 hours it gets more expensive). So, once I okay this with Dad I will pick a suitable weekend and we'll take a long vacation around it. He says the wonderful natural monuments are legion out there and it sounds very peaceful and beautiful.
In the other meantime, my girl parts are once again trying to kill me. The fact that this should only last a few hours instead of a couple of days is only of small comfort.
