Doing anything the day after? Drop by, we can have lunch. Things to do: Rocket Burger on 35th Ave and Cactus is the best god damn restaurant around here. Dunno if you're into hiking, but if there was ever a place to casually climb a mountain, this would be it. Tempe Improv usually has some class acts. I think David Spade is in this week. If you're into jazz, The Nash is a live jazz lounge. Fucking love that place. Lake Powell and the Grand Canyon are worth a visit if they're on your road trip out. Not much beyond that, without know what kind of things you'd be looking for.

I'm here now until Thursday evening. I might have to try Rocket Burger even though it's kind of far. Staying in Scottsdale.

It's worth the drive. If you don't feel like making it (you should) Qwik Chinese on Hayden and McCormick gets my vote for best east valley food.

Vincennes IN tomorrow if I don't get snowed in.
Ithaca MI the rest of the week.
Chicago sometime over the following weekend until I'm done.
Then back to bmore.

Pittsburgh is on the agenda whenever the hell I get around to it, but I'll probably be working 7 days a week in the office through the end of March.

I forgot about this. I was busy the entire time though  Sad

I will be permanently relocating for work to a location that is convenient(ish) to Philly, Baltimore, and DC.

Edit: I will be moving in on the 14th, which is also my bday.

I need more SF trips. Had 3 so far, all under adverse life circumstances, and all wonderful.

I'd love to live there if I could replicate my job and lifestyle there.

In the meantime, St. Maarten.

We will have an epic jam if you make it out to my neck of the woods. Until then, I will dream of life in St. Maarten as well.

The last time I was in san fran I met a dude in a line going into a show. We made small talk, then we talked about the show, and he was surprised I'd crossed the continent to get there. He said I needed to move out there with other likeminded folk.

Dayton isn't too far from Columbus area really, an hour or so, could visit Sogo, Luca, and Myself if you wanted, or you could just head to Origin's Game Fair: http://www.originsgamefair.com

[/quote]If I have time I may make the drive over, depends on work. I'm flying into Dayton at 1pm on Friday, supposed to work Sat/Sun but if I've got enough downtime, it might be worth a trip.

From what my friends at Kingmakers (http://kingmakerscolumbus.com) say, Origin's Game Fair is one of the largest tabletop gaming conventions in the US... I've never been honestly, I only found out it existed this year, and apparently they are hosting Catan World Champtionship Qualifiers. I don't even know if I'll have time to go this weekend.

Not exactly business travel, but I'll be moving out to Seattle by mid-July. If anyone's ever lived in that area and has recommendations on food/things I should definitely check out (or wants to hang out if they still actively live there) let me know.
