Back to work!

Back for AC.
Wow, what a trip. Of course I was so excited to see everyone. I would start dropping names, but with my memory I know I would by typing apology letters for weeks.
The dance comp was nerve racking. You have no idea how crazy it has become. I used to just show up at the last second, and we where lucky to have a full 10 suiters in the competition. This year was the first year I had to work for it. I was so honored just to be in the competition. To think that in just a few years we would have to actively turn people away, good people at that. Everyone who made it was a good dancer (not to mention plenty who didn't make it). Needless to say I have been practicing harder than ever before, as I know it is not going to get any easier any time soon. I just hope an man now in his late 20's can keep up to maybe win once :P
Though I did have my share of fun I am finding more and more that these trips are not really vacations anymore, they are business trips.
Repairs, meetings, delivery, dtd making, question answering, and quotes all done at the con. I think many people would think that is a bad thing, or a strain on my con. I disagree with that sentiment. I like being present, and accessible as much as I can. I under no circumstances perfect at it. I know there where more than a few ties I just got pulled one way or another, and coordination of even simple suit pickup is compounded exponentially at a con. In the end I know it's a mixed bag.
That being said I realize I do need real time away from my work. I was thinking of a few ideas.
I would like to plan a road trip to personally see the standing works of Frank Lloyd Wright (and the works other noteworthy architects in the same vein of design) Starting in Miami, up to Lakeland ("Child of the sun" at Florida Southern) Make my way up to "Falling water" then make a few more stops before I end in Palm Springs. I may hit a few renowned Tiki Bars on the way.
Anyone down?
This is of course when I am back ahead of schedule.
On that note.
I am starting to get back ahead of schedule with the suit work. Currently I am still a tad behind, but with a few suits shipped the suits after should be months ahead of time. That makes me very happy, as I was slowly going crazy working alone for those few months.
One last thing.
I DO NOT TAKE QUOTES OVER FAs NOTE SYSTEM!
I am not on FA often enough, and with as badly organized things are with notes in the past I don't even know what I have read and what I have not. So please, emails only.
TTYS!

Hey, come on now! When I saw you at the preliminaries, I was shaking in my pants! You've got so much finesse in what you do and it's gonna stick and grow even better.
With that said, hope to see you on the dance stage again sometime soon!
Oh god! I feel you there! Sitting there alone sewing about drove me insane! Then I trained a friend to help me. She's really slow and doesn't produces much of anything in a good amount of time... but her company kept my sanity. :c Now she's gone visiting family for the summer. *twitchtwitch*
NEED TO FIND ANOTHER MINION.
I'D LOVE TO GO WITH YOU! I mean, if you'd have company, I've always loved Wright's architecture, Falling Water is such an inspiration and recently I've become enamored of his later Usonian work.
Just a thought.
I need to get back to work on my dancing and spend more time with you guys at cons, I was all into it a few years back but have slacked off a ton since then. I need to get back on skating regularly too.
