@polka dots vs stripes Ahhh I just realized you must be talking about Jack’s. Yeah that is a bummer, I will miss them!

@thenotestaken Oooh well if Ira Glass was involved my wallet would fly right open! But yeah, I know, $5 was a hell of a deal plus they put the price of your admission towards any books that you buy there, so my book purchase would have been more expensive otherwise.

My budget was right (1000 yen pizza 3000 yen Costco 4000 yen show etc.) plus another 1000 for parking and $10 for kittens on my friend’s kitten rescue’s Indiegogo (http://www.indiegogo.com/savinggracerescueexpansionfund – if anyone’s in the Bay Area, check them out!) so more like 13,000 yen.

@backstagebethy I say do it. You can still have a great time in Ireland in cheap hotels. If your hotel is not super comfortable, hang out in a cozy cozy pub until bedtime! You won’t even notice the less fancy accommodations if you’re out in the world most of the time.

@thenotestaken Only $5 for that talk? That sounds awesome. I saw Chris Ware with Ira Glass and I can’t remember but I’m sure it was more than $5.

@eagerber @Mike Dang Considering the number of people who still didn’t have power as of this weekend (I heard more than 100,000, most in Long Island and N.J.) so your volunteering was making a difference, certainly. Thank you!

@alpacasloth Congratulations! That is my dream weekend – as in, it will only happen in my dreams.

@Megano! I was disappointed with both the quantity of the snacks and the quality of the tea. However my mother and I were both celebrating our birthdays and I really enjoy being an adult child who can treat my mother to nice afternoons every so often.

@wearitcounts yeah, it really can, it just adds up. My biggest challenge is getting over feeling like it’s frivolous to spend money on clothes and bras and decent shoes, and even makeup. It’s just the price of admission for presenting a feminine appearance, but I have a hard time getting over the feeling that I am wasting money on “girly” things.

@Megano! OK, I feel lots better about my gaming spending, now. :) I’ve been trying SO HARD to only play the games I already have, but they are all played out, and I have missed Okami SO MUCH. It was my break-up comfort game years ago.
