Some people are under the impression that I’m smart. I’m not quite sure how they got this notion, but I have a counter example
I decided I was going to fly into national, and it wasn’t worth checking the other airports, so, when booking the flight or orbitz, I just used the airport code: IAD. I didn’t catch my error until I got to the airport this afternoon. Duh, whoops. Dulles isn’t so bad. They do have an affordable bus that takes you right to the L’Enfant metro station … if you don’t get off early at a different metro station which results in higher fares and longer travel times.
Still, I made it, I’m here. And will take time to formulate more coherent plans tomorrow, whilst my charming hosts,
Wait … conference … you’re not talking about MAL, are you? Isn’t that next weekend?
MAL
Nah, He is in town from some kind of professional development. MAL IS next weekend and should prove to me a LOT more fun. Too bad he’s leaving Thursday, January 13!
Re: MAL
Are you going to be attending this MAL thing, whatever it is? =)
Re: MAL
It is Mid Atlantic Leather. It is a conference/contest/convention for the leather community. Moose and I are planning to attend a few parties around the event and definitely drop in to the convention hotel to shop for “accessories.” It runs Jan 15-17.
MAL?
Google didn’t give me a quick and easy answer. After deciding to ignore the Latin meaning, my first guess was that it was a mac thing. Google somehow gave me the notion of a leather thing. So, uh, what the heck is it? =)
Re: MAL?
See the above comments, but Google was right when it came up with the leather answer. (I work for a bondage mag, remember.) I’m afraid you’ve exposed yourself as a non-leather toting member of the gay community when you asked that last question.
I was equally unaware of what it was until several weeks ago, when I had to ask what MAL was at an office meeting, because everyone was talking about it like the party of the century, asking who was going, and what days everyone was taking off of work, etc.
Cheers, queers.
that new icon of yours is giving me thoughts.
Woo!
Mission (partially) accomplished
Eh, don’t feel bad. I once booked a flight for Friday night when I meant to book it for Thursday night. I then had to shell out $100 to change it. It really sucked.
I hope your trip is downhill from here on out.
About 4 years ago, I made a similar error, missed my flight entirely, and had to cancel my trip. Le sigh.
