Since moving to the woods five years ago, my social schedule is a pale shadow of what it once was. <\/p>\n

However, the next couple of weeks will have me back to the level I used to be at, and I’m not sure if I can handle it anymore, when combined with fatherhood and additional work responsibilities.<\/p>\n

However, I’ll give it a try.<\/p>\n

Tonight, of course, is the weekly HGPA<\/a> Dealer’s Choice game. It’s looking like this will break up earlier than the usual 2 or 3 AM this week, so that’s good. If it ends early enough I might get a chance to watch Veronica Mars<\/a> tonight instead of tomorrow night.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow is my “off” night, although I will likely be having a meeting at 9PM with the Australians for work.<\/p>\n

Thursday night is a book launch \/ exhibit.<\/p>\n

\"House<\/a><\/p>\n

That’s the book launch for Rebecca Kraatz<\/a>‘s new collected House of Sugar<\/a>, published through Hope Larson<\/a>‘s Tulip Tree Press<\/a>. Should be a good time.<\/p>\n

Friday night I’ll probably be going to a Stolen Minks<\/a> show:<\/p>\n

\"Stolen<\/a><\/p>\n

I keep meaning to see them live, and Sarah is a big fan of the bass player<\/a>, and I’ll know a lot of people there, so…<\/p>\n

Saturday night I will be exhausted, since Trish has school all day, and a school dinner after, so I’m on Daddy duty from early in the morning until bed time. Sarah and I are hoping to get all our Christmas shopping done that day. If I’m really smart, I might arrange to have a friend or two over to watch Gotham<\/a> that evening before I send it back to Zip<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"S.J.<\/a><\/p>\n

The next busy night is the following Tuesday, when I have both poker night, and a show from my acquaintance Sean Jordan, a.k.a. Wordburglar<\/a>. That’s also the first night Danny<\/a> is in town, so I might also be doing something with him, or he might be going to those things with me.<\/p>\n

Wednesday I may be resting up, since Thursday night is this year’s Drakemas<\/a>. I have taken Friday off work (even though the Yanks won’t be working Thursday or Friday anyway) just in case I need to lie around the house and deal with veisalgia<\/a>. A good part of this will probably take place at the Seahorse<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Friday night will see me (and probably many of the people from Thursday night) back at the Seahorse<\/a> for Danny<\/a>‘s Halifax show. Hopefully I am not damaged enough from Thursday to interfere with enjoying Friday.<\/p>\n

Saturday I’ll be trekking over to Sackville to see the Danny<\/a> show there, where I will also meet up with my friend, the Crake Doctoral Fellow<\/a>. Heh.<\/p>\n

There was a time when that kind of schedule would have been not even worth mentioning as a challenge, but that was back in the days when I didn’t have to get up at an unholy early hour every day. (Pre-parenting it was not uncommon for me to wake up at around 10AM on work days, and 1PM on the weekends. 8AM is now a weekday sleep-in for me.) We’ll see if I can still do it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
