I can't believe you've never been to Florida.

And you are seriously lacking Southern exposure. Road trip!

Airport layovers don't count.

Driving through counts if you stopped to pee.

What if you peed while in the car. My dad never stopped for anything, just handed me a cup.

IIRC, I peed in Utah, too.

I'm staying out of this one before someone pokes fun at my lack of wanderlust.

Oops - I put SC as a lived-in-state twice, and skipped WY as a nada. I'm down to 29. - edit: but I did drive into Washington state once; I'm counting it! Back to 30!!!

Starting a new thread today on this - back to Tuttlefest!

SCHEDULE REVISION

Another one of the lost pertinent facts conveyed to me by my lovely wife is the notion that my daughter will be swimming with the High School team for the first time (as a freshman), and that those practices will likely commence around the 20th of August. The actual date is not yet available.

So, I'm going to refocus my schedule priorities on the weeks of August 11 and August 18. Of course, if we gather proximal to Seattle, the swim thing doesn't affect Tuttlefest.

In addition to Volunteers, I hereby decree that a screening of The Big Lebowski shall be required.

The dude abides.

Aw, this sounds like fun. I'm near Tom and think it'd be a blast to meet you all, I even have a couple extra rooms I could use to house some people...but August is bad for me. I'll be halfway up Mt. Kilimajaro in Tanzania on the 18th
