Usually I'm all about the Buy Nothing Day. But when it comes down to it, I'm in need of items that will be marked down to ultra-low prices on just one day. So I get two choices: 1) Wait and give the corporate jack-asses more of my money but also make a statement that I won't buy into their crazy agenda to make people spend more OR 2) Go out on Friday, spend less money, but also participate in a ritualistic shopping madness. Who knows, maybe it'll be kinda fun in a really fucked up way.
In the meantime being sick has really put me behind learning how to drive, so hopefully I'll get a chance to do that a bunch this coming long weekend. I tend to have a lousy immune system, so my mom actually recommended surgery (getting my tonsils out)... which I don't know how in the world I'd pay for. And would kinda set me back even more.
I've followed through with a bit of research on each area I plan to be visiting, made it through the whole trip, but I don't have any definite plans. Tahoe and North Carolina present problems. While I'm assured that will find all-ages music there (it's everywhere) the internet doesn't seem to be very forthcoming with where exactly I might find it. I'm going to check and see if there are some newspapers with listings that I might check out.
In other very important news, as Devon who was saying he could go with me now implies this wouldn't work for him and Kelso who also was interested but lacks the funds necessary can't join me for the trip it looks like I might go solo, which is dangerous but not going to stop me. There's a new hope though that my good friend Callie might go with me, if her parents pay her back the money they owe her (and it's a sum large enough to cover a fair share of the trip if she so chooses to use it for that). Hopefully I'll know for sure soon and I can introduce how awesome of a chick she is and see if she has any ideas that could make this trip even cooler.
I hope to update soon with some links and basic research on a couple places that I've found through my research, but as this is the only day of the week that I have the opportunity to work (and boy, do I need the money, especially being sick so much lately) I'm going back there.
