I have an opportunity to go and see a certain famous author+radio host at the Kennedy, which is a setting much smaller and more intimate than the last time I saw him, and I get to do it for free because I'm a member. The last time I saw him live, it cost $150 and I could barely see anything from where I was sitting (it was a birthday gift, so I didn't have to pay for it then either but I could also get the person who bought my tickets last time, in for free this time) The problem is, it's on Easter Sunday and there is no way I can travel to both Boston and Concord (NH where the relatives I traditionally visit are) in the same day.

So 1) if I do this, I really feel like I no longer have the right to complain about the Blog Against Theocracy People repeatedly scheduling their blogathon for Easter weekend.

2) My relatives already think I'd rather do anything else than visit them.

3) It just feels wrong somehow.

4) I bought some food I intended to contribute to the Easter meal and I not only can't eat it all myself but there won't be another occasion for holiday cooking for awhile.

5) It just feels wrong somehow...

But on the PRO side, if there was anyone my family would understand my missing Easter for, it might be this guy because they're actually bigger fans than I am.

But I've been second guessing myself a lot lately- I keep wanting to slap a disclaimer on this journal that says I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHAT I"M DOING.
