Sometimes. Only somtimes. And this is one of those times, because it would make planning/doing anything a whole hell of a lot easier.

Take the second annual Grylliade Thanksgiving. Yes O-L-B will be there. Yes, I want to go anyway, because other people who are awesome will be there, and I think with them as a buffer I can deal with the situation just fine.

But it’s the Saturday after Thanksgiving. And it’s NYC, so that means the thing starts late. Which means getting home is a giant major pain, because NJ Transit sucks, it means I’ll have to leave early, blah blah blah, the whole thing seems more trouble than its worth.

I need to be filthy rich, so I can live somewhere else, and keep an apartment in the city for times like this. Of course, by that logic, I’d be filthy rich, and I wouldn’t have to worry about so I could just live in the city and bum around collecting degress in, say Russian history or whatever.

So I need to decide if this thing is worth the hassle of going, and then I need a game plan for how best to not let OLB get to me while I’m there.
