Last weekend I heard that the 24th Annual Insect Fear Film Festival is tonight. I did not go the last 2 years because I was in no mood to go by myself, but I promised myself that I was going this year.
Then on Monday I got an email that my friend, Eva Hunter, and her band are playing in Bloomington tonight after a several month hiatus.
Damn! What to do? I’ve been torn all week.
Well, the weather has answered for me. Neither, is the answer. [Power just popped off and back on. Glad I have the stereo and computers on UPSs!]
It’s been precipitating all day—freezing rain and sleet. So with Ice Storm Warnings and Flood Watches in effect until midnight I’m not going anywhere; even “just” to campus.
I guess I ought to be happy that I don’t have to choose, but still, “Damn!”

Critters vs. crooners, always a tough choice. Stay warm, enjoy your eve.

I’m certainly going to try and stay warm, but with the wind howling out there and the power popping in and out, who knows.
Maybe the hot water heating system will hold on for a while if the power goes…? I just lit a couple candles.

The IFFF is SO FUN. You should go next year!

I sure hope to. I would’ve gone this year if the weather hadn’t been *quite* so bad. Park at Main Library, walk to Foellinger vs. drive an hour away and try to park in downtown Bloomington.
Sorry for not responding last night but my cable internet went out. I’m actually quite surprised it’s back on this morning; although highly pleased.
