I already cleaned the cat box, though the roomie was kind enough to take out the trash for me and check the mail. Better get started on that curry...

So, this year Webercon is running from March 13-16. Weberconn is a sort of miniconvention that is run at the family house of some of my Texas friends - people that I have met since I moved down here, and some of whom I only get to see once or maybe twice a year. We set the date months ago now, because people need to be able top book time off, etc. It is basically a bunch of friends getting together for a weekend of gaming and hanging out and hijinks, and it is usually a ton of fun. This year, naryrising is coming down to visit me that week of March and this was partly planned to coincide with Webercon because she has met and is friends with many of those people, and is part of the Sunday night game (Adventure World! <3) that includes a large chunk of that group as well. I am super excited to see folks, to play in some of the games people are running, and also to run a LARP game on Sunday that I know I have mentioned before, for instance in the very last post I made :p

Yesterday, I went over to see some of my other local friends - friends I have made through school that I like hanging out with, etc. I knew the host couple were engaged, and I am super excited that they are getting married! Some other people I know had already gotten wedding invitations, but I hadn't seen them in a while and they gave me mine in person yesteday when I was over there.

And of course it is the same weekend. In fact it is the Saturday, at 5:30, which is really riiiiight in the middle of things.

And I am super bummed, for a whole host of reasons. I think at this point I am probably goign to stick with going to Webercon, but I feel like a colossal jerk because I am chooseing one group of friends over another, because I am choosing an anual thing over a (hopefully!) once in a lifetime thing, because I may miss out on seeing other friends from out of town if they come in for the wedding too, etc.

It is just one of those situations where there is no way to 'win'. Webercon is taking place in a little town that is about a 3 hour drive away from here, and we were going to be getting a ride with someone else (I don't have a car and Curtana is flying down), so we can't just leave early or leave and come back, really. I'm supposed to be running the LARP on Sunday, anyway, though I suppose that could be reworked.... I don't know. I just know that I'm super bummed about it all and it sucks. Stupid there only being one ideal weekend to schedule things when you are organizing your life around the academic calender :/
