> [@Ambivalid](#): > > So you bought the ticket knowing you wouldn’t go?? 😕 Um, _why?_ no, I wanted to go, just like I say I’ll attend any social event. but when the time comes to actually show up, I panic and chicken out. I just hate being around big groups of people I don’t know. ---

I might not be available on the 27th. Any other weekend in October should be fine. If it gets pushed back into November, the only weekend I have plans is November 10th-11th. ---

Looks like we’ll be in Nov. Tracy can’t do the second weekend, and I can’t do the first two. What days work? ---

Coming over here, being all polite and waving your health care in our faces (I kid. Some of my best friends say “aboot”). If this is happening, I’m probably out.
