Plan 2.0: move to Seattle at the end of December.
Why: Because if I move to Seattle by Nov.1 (in accordance with Plan 1.0), then I'll have to fly back east for Thanksgiving, individual world poetry slam, and Christmas, all of which take place within less than a month of each other.
Further parts of Plan 2.0 include possibly doing a southeast/midwest tour (Arkansas, New Orleans, Florida, Atlanta, and Ashville, looking at you!) between Thanksgiving and iwps.
Bugs currently detected in Plan 2.0 include missing the chance to meet amazing Ghandians in Seattle (who will be flying in from India mid-November and staying for a short while), not getting an early start in the Seattle slam season, and being in Jersey for the better part of three months.
Bonus features included with Plan 2.0 are a lack of rent-paying for said months, getting to play with the Bar 13 crowd, possibly finding interesting short-term work among my mom's massage therapy clients, and saving at least two airfares.
Also, easier to find jobs for Jan 1st than Nov 1st, in my experience.
Thoughts?

Hey Dane
Krishnamal will be in Philly Oct 17-19th. Aliyah will be there for some of that at least. The other person to contact about the schedule in Philly is TL Hill at tl.hill@temple.edu. He is an old friend of ours. David says to tell you that you said you would be missing the "candyians" since Ghandi is candy. Gandhians is what you were looking for.
BTW I think plan 2.0 makes sense.

Hey Ellen-
Oych. Thanks for the spelling correction. I will definitely, definitely try to get down to Philly - so she's really going on tour after the award thing, wow! I'm glad I won't have to miss her.

The tour is actually before the award event in Seattle which is November 17-19.
Enjoy being home.
Ellen
