The end of summer is usually the time that I start really looking foward to TAM, and with the recent loss of the great Mr. Andrus I've been thinking about the Meeting and all my Forum friends even more.
Now that Number 6 has made Vegas its summer home (rather than winter retreat), the current month of September is comparable to April for how I counted down time before. It's still a whole baby baking time away! And while some folks have 5.5 and Island Cruises to help them bide the time before the next Official Meeting, I'm left anxiously counting days like a kid waiting for Christmas (or Festivus, depending on holiday hipness).
But in not wanting to grumble or mope about the vast expanse of time that separates us from our future fun, I've instead chose to concentrate on all the things to look foward to.
TAM and tan sound alike, don't they? And just think of all the time we'll get to spend lounging by the pool! Remember that beautiful ol' cement pond at the Riv that was just sloshing around with no one there to admire it? Well, just think of it this way! Now we can have a swimsuit edition of the Skepchick calendar!
The extra five months we're giving Vegas before our return means that they'll be able to finish those 5 million other casinos they're building! That means more show options and sightseeing options for us, not to mention all new buffets! Think of the feasting!
Us nerds will have more chances to curse the sun, which we already love to do! Buy stock in sunblock now! Our whiteness could make you a millionaire, without the woo!
Plus you'll be saving money already by not having to buy new winter clothes! How many years could I keep going wearing the same sweaters? Thank goodness now I can wear dresses and tank tops and flip flops! Have you ever seen me in a bikini? No, you haven't. Because it was too freakin' cold! Throw me some of that sunblock!
Think of the speakers we'll have access to now that they'll be out of hibernation!
And best of all, nine more months gives me enough time to save up the money to go and have my boyfriend attend as well. Yippee!
Anyone counting down with me?
