So Much To Say
June 29, 2003
I'm more than halfway done with my vacation, just one more day in DC before I hit the road again, and I have so much to write about but no motivation to get it all down. Tonight I MIGHT post some thoughts about the CTCnet conference, which went really well in spite of the opening keynote speech and all its classism. The conference was saved well before today, but it became even more apparent that I'm in the right field when I heard Art somethingorother (I'm going to get his last name from my boss so I can write him a long thank-you e-mail) gave his speech about activism and advocacy. I have so so much to write about all of the inspiring people I met and/or learned from at the conference, I really don't know where to start.
I've had a fantastic time staying at the house of Pear, as well. I really don't think I can thank them enough for providing such a mellow and relaxing place, in addition to all else that they provided. It has been such a pleasure to be here and to hang out with the Pears.
Tomorrow, I will be heading out to some art museums with m and our friends J and her son, I. I'm hoping to meet up with Bellis (who made me laugh on the phone tonight, first because she called me dru, and second because she also listens to Pastor Sanders...and she actually LISTENED to all of my freaked out audblogs that I posted during that weird marathon traffic jam at the end of my journey.) and possibly Ms. Lorraine, who is such a sweet woman. We were going to get together tonight, but she wasn't feeling well, and I've been spending a lot of time tonight focusing some intense "feeling better" vibes on her not only because I so very much want her to feel better, but also, selfishly, because I would just love to see her again before I go. Either way, though, I'm going to beg for them to come to Austin sometime in the future - perhaps for sxsw next year? Pretty please?
Speaking of next year, the conference culminated with the announcement that next year's conference will be in (drumroll please) SEATTLE! So, um, I'm going to start looking for people in Seattle who might be willing to put up with my dog and pony show during the conference. I'm already sort of thinking that I might be able to leave the kids with one or both of my brothers who live along the way, but what an excellent road trip that would be! I'm currently accepting applications for travel partners for that one...serious inquiries only, please.
After tomorrow's big day, we'll probably turn in early so we can get an early start on Tuesday and drive through the National Park and onward to Nashville, where we will get to enjoy the company of Tracy and her little man again. Then I'm taking the decidedly more direct route home to Austin, perhaps stopping for the night once more along the way if necessary (it'll probably be necessary, but I'm thinking optimistically, for the sake of saving a little money.)
It's been excellent so far. m got a bit homesick today, but I think he got over it relatively quickly. c has done quite well, actually...and I have pretty much avoided driving almost the whole time I've been here, so I'm almost ready to hit the open road once again.
I hope everyone is doing well. I don't know if I will be posting much from this point until I get home. I'm loving the guest bloggers, although they seem to have disappeared here. I want to hear more from them! More!

uh oh. I've been away and now may have missed you altogether for now! Well, Seattle is closer to SF. Ahem.
Now I'll have to hook up my speakers to listen to your audblog.
