I'm trying to decide if I should do something or just stay home. What are your plans?

Driving down to Florida and spending the weekend at my future father-in-law's house (will probably hit up the Blue Crab Festival while I'm there).

Haven't decided yet. Probably nothing since the freeways in and out of phoenix will be PACKED.

I have no doubt. Everyone goes up north for memorial day and 4th of july. There is only one freeway going north and it is through the moutains and such. Leads to backups miles upon miles long. And coming back into town? forgetaboutit.

i dont think anyone likes waiting 2 hours for 2 minute rides (a 2 minute ride is pretty long too), but some rides make those 2 minutes worth it and more (like Goliath at Magic Mountain).

I might be going down there next week.

As for memorial day, I'm gonna go see The Day AFter Tomorrow

Staying home, perhaps firing up the grill and having beer. I refuse to drive home, due to LA traffic all needing to go up I-5. 6 hour trip that took 14 hours from San Jose to Riverside one day for Thanksgiving weekend. That also rules out Vegas for me, as 4 hour trip takes roughly 9 hours.

I was going to try and go to the Donnie Darko Director's Cut premiere at the Seattle International Film Festival, but they're all sold out. :(

Now it sounds like a bucket of chicken, a bottle of Jack Daniels and gentle sobbing.
