I finally managed to get my hands on a one day pass for the Blastfest, on Saturday

by **captaingabbeh** » Fri Dec 02, 2016 4:07 pm

Just got my new passport! Now all I've got left to do is book flights.

THIS THREAD NEEDS MOAR REJOICING.

Also, I've been conditionally accepted to a semi-professional singing ensemble here in Calgary! Got two months to brush up my intervals and sight reading - and also figure out what this thing called "pop voice" is...

Indeed. While I've done my fair share of posting here (seems to be my most active topic on these here broads), there's always room for improvement.

Let's see... I just came back from an amazing weekend in Tallinn with some of my best friends. The black IPA I bottled about a week ago is pretty damn delicious. I'm almost done with remodeling my new apartment. I'm booking flights to Copenhagen for New Year's. Flying to Berlin in mid-January for a beer festival and an Asphyx gig. Flying to Florida 1.5 weeks after the Berlin trip.
Yay!

Take any voice, just auto-tune the shit out of it, and voilà.

Big thanks to the 5 or 6 cruise vets who came out to support me for this one... Most 70K cruisers on FB already sick of my recent spamming of this but yeah, definitely rejoice thread worthy and I know there's a few here who avoid fakebook like the plague so ...

Good job!

Finally got my new passport in after the post office somehow had lost it. Glad they finally found where it was.

Now I can go on the cruise.

I find your lack of Pictures disturbing.

Had enough air miles to fly to Miami for free.

by **Memnoch** » Thu Jan 12, 2017 12:39 am

Flying to Berlin tomorrow for a beer event and Asphyx. Yay!

13 days and 14 hours here :). Yeah I'm down to the hours now already.

by **Memnoch** » Tue Jan 17, 2017 12:50 pm

8 days 19 hours until our takeoff.

by **captaingabbeh** » Wed Jan 18, 2017 2:25 pm

I just got my online check-in email!!!

by **TPH** » Thu Jan 19, 2017 4:42 am

I have a Cisco training paid by my company for the whole week, starting next Monday

The only downside: it's in Sheffield, UK, not the most enjoyable city in the world.

by **biertroll** » Fri Jan 20, 2017 1:06 am

8 days!!

by **AceHugger** » Fri Jan 20, 2017 1:30 pm

I just got back to Finland yesterday after spending 4,5 months in Asia. I'm super happy about winter and snow, because I've missed them a lot.

by **captaingabbeh** » Fri Jan 20, 2017 4:29 pm

Looks like I'm gonna have the Monday before the cruise off work. I'm super tempted to move my flight down.

I looked! Unfortunately I couldn't do it without paying through the nose for fare difference + change fee

. So I'm still arriving around 4:30 on the 31. On the other hand, now I have a full day for last-minute packing/shopping/preparing a zillion ensemble pieces for a week after I get back

by **Sgt. B** » Tue Jan 24, 2017 3:43 pm

I have floor tickets for St Paul, Dallas, San Antonio, & Brooklyn North American Iron Maiden shows. The San Bernardino show I am in the pit section in front of the stage. I might be able to pull them all off with only using 2 days vacation.

I should post in the bitching section on how much money I will be spending.

Bad news: my phone doesn't fit in my stuff, so if I want a note-taking/alarm-making/photo-taking device that fits in my cruise gear I need to fix my iPod.

Good news: I can do that for less than $200 at a shop by my place, and have it ready by Monday.

by **taraimaro** » Thu Jan 26, 2017 3:38 am

Tonight I'm going to visit a good friend of mine whom I haven't seen since last summer. Also right after that it's time to head across the Atlantic, first to New York.

At the dealership getting my car safety checked for the trip to Ft. Lauderdale... Only one week to go!!!

by **Masterbas** » Thu Jan 26, 2017 9:47 am

Tomorrow is our pre-cruise diner with a few friends going on the boat. This means we're getting there, only 4 more days before my flight to FL.

by **TPH** » Thu Jan 26, 2017 3:55 pm

4 days in a row that my company is paying for my food and drinks. And I've had quite a few drinks.
