I would, except that San Diego is far away.

Mr. Language and I saw caddisflies at the stream we were at the other day, BTW, and I thought of you.

You should have signed up for Evolution 2010 instead. Guess where they are holding that this year...

Might do.  I'm short of vacation time, but I think I can swing a weekend.  That's highly tentative, though.

I haven't decided if I'm going yet or not. If I do, I need to send in my poster abstract by next week.

To be honest, I really don't think anyone at this meeting would give a shit about my research, but people are urging me to go anyway.

You have no kids, therefore time is best spent doing new things and going to new places.

Same thing with money.

You get one trip around, Kai...And the ride is never, ever long enough.

Ah, yes, hotel circle!  Well, nice thing is, Kai, you can get the tram from there to downtown!  That's a great location!  It's not in downtown, but near Old Town and you can GET downtown (the Gaslamp District) VERY easily!

(I just re-read what I wrote, sounds like an idiot typed it, but you hopefully get my meaning...)

I'm only about 20 minutes away from there (note: in CA we say distances in time to get there, not miles, lol).  I'm a bit north of there, off the 15 freeway.  Unfortunately, there's no public transport that you can take MY way (well, there is, but it's a bus and it sucks ass).  I'll have to come down and getcha.

Incidentally, the Gaslamp district is pretty fucking cool.

It sure is.  And Hillcrest and Banker's Hill are awesome too--as well as Northpark...and that whole area near there.  Plenty to explore and do around here.
