I've been on these boards daily since I heard the news of Finnegan's passing. I've had closer friends die in the past five years that didn't have an impact on my life like this has had. That's not to say they aren't missed, but this is different. I think everyone else understands what I'm talking about, especially those of you who were very close to him. I spent the first week thinking about him and all the general memories from my LARPing days. I never left on bad terms, but I did leave. I missed seeing all of thoses faces I saw that Saturday in Stroudsburg. I've said in the past that I would make a return, but it's always been so hard to get away for a weekend when I have a wife and kids at home, not to mention a job I work Fridays & Saturdays at.
About two weeks ago my wife informed me that her (female) boss asked if she wanted to head out to Cape May, NJ to her condo during the first weekend in May. She invited my wife and daughters, along with her own daughter, for a girls trip to the beach. They would be leaving early afternoon on Friday, and coming home during the evening Sunday. Hmmm...that sounds like something I used to do, right? So on a whim I checked the event calendar and see what you all already know--HQ event that weekend.
I've avoided posting because I feel like it's too good to be true. I can think of maybe one or two other times these past four years that I've actually had a whole weekend to myself. To have one line up with an HQ event seems more than just a coincidence. So over the past week I've been making calls and sending out PM's to get things in order. I actually made gas globes last night with the help of my kids...ok they didn't really help, but they at least tried!
I guess my only real question is this--is it too early to pre-reg for May 2-3-4 weekend?
And yes, there will be yummy treats. Possibly more than I've ever brought before to a single event.
