I have a feeling this week is going to *feel* painfully long, but I'm hoping not.

I took all of next week off, and I am so very much looking forward to having a whole week not at work!

We have an event this Saturday, so I am taking a half day that day, too.

So I need to make it through two and a half more days, then I have a half day off, then one more (long) day at work, then I'm free for nine whole days.

It's hard to plan what we want to do, because we don't know what the weather will be like. We've had some nice days the last couple weeks, with a couple overnight frosts mixed in. I would love it if the pattern would hold, but it sounds like we're probably expecting some shitty weather to move in, which sucks. Ah well.

One of our main local promoters just announced this festival for next year. That is QUITE a lineup!

Now I'm just trying to decide if I suck up the online ticket fees or try to hit up the sponsoring clothing store and see if they'll have hard-copy tickets. I'd rather have hard-copy tickets, but I also imagine I should try to get tickets before too terribly long.

I feel like I have a bunch of stuff I should try to get done (mostly stuff like "catch up on comments" and "write up some book reviews") but I have not been able to summon much in the way of motivation!

Yay for a week off! I hope the weather is nice and you can get out and do stuff.

I am so excited for a week off! I really hope the weather cooperates for at least a few days for me! Though even if it doesn't, I hope that I can still find things at home to be intentional about doing and enjoying. Writing, art, video games, etc.
(Though right now I'm having to mostly hope that I'm not about to spend my week off sick!)

Week off!!!!!! Hooray!

I am so excited!

Nice!!! I hope you'll have a fantastic vacation/time off coming up! And hopefully with plenty of good-weather days!

WHOA - Julien K?! If I knew more about the above bands beyond passing acquaintance, I'd be sorely tempted to attend the above festival as my first (whatever this electronic-goth-ish genre is?) haha. Julien K's "Death to Analog" is easily one of my all time favorite albums. <3

...The Blucifer is a nice artistic touch. xD

ETA - Your post inspired me to look into what Julien K's been up to and they have a new album as of this year that (a few songs in) is delightful. Thank you for the reminder they exist haha. <3

I'm looking forward to having the week off! And fingers crossed that the weather cooperates at least a few of those days!

:D Yay for discovering the existence of a new album! I haven't heard more than a handful of songs by Julien K, so I should do a deeper dive.

I've been to more VNV and Aesthetic Perfection shows than is probably necessary, but I'll still take the chance to see them again! And together! I've also seen Voicecoil (a friend of mine!) and Whorticulture multiple times, since they're both local, but I've never seen the others.
