In case you did not see my Twitter yesterday, I made it through the mountains! I looked at the forecast, and it seemed as though the weather in the pass would get even *worse* Thursday thru Saturday. So, after hemming and hawing, and consulting with the folks yesterday morning, I decided to give it a go.
I apparently made the right call. All I encountered, weather-wise, was some rain south of San Fran, and the pavement was clear in the Siskiyous. I made awesome time, and even had a chance to stop near Turntable Bay for about 10 minutes and get some nice photos.
Yep, I am occasionally a lucky devil. :)
Anyhoo, still in Eugene at the moment, but I am heading up to PDX soonsoonsoon, and then getting dolled up for this evening! Will definitely be at the big shindig that I imagine many of my PDX friends are going or were at least invited to. I might also meet up with Alyson & Co. at East Burn before that, and/or may stop in at a party with some wushu people. (not likely on the latter, since it's way out in Tualatin and I had a hell of a time even finding the guy's house the last time I went out there)
Whatever I end up doing, I'll be happy to see you guys! And definitely also happy to leave all the recent emo behind in 2009. YAY :D
