I'm Not Going To Al-fest

I'm Henry, I'm not going to Al Fest. Not because I don't have the money, my parents would be more than happy to lend me money, but the problem is transportation, I hate being in passenger planes and If I drove, I would spend all the money I was going to pay for Al Fest for gas and food. Even if I had enough money to pay for Al Fest, I wouldn't have enough money to make it home. Living on the opposite side of the country isn't very good all the time.

Hi!!!
I'm Susie and l, too, will not be attending AL-fest.
Financial and family situations , as well as possible 2 day classes, will probably be keeping me in the Cleveland area all summer vacation! (I've been on both sides and I really believe teachers need the break more than the students!!!!)

I logged on after months specificly to whine about this, and BAM, there's already a whine topic.

You guys are the best. Add me to the miserable list please. =[

Should I look more into this?
Or give it up as a pipe dream?

I'd be there. I have family in Franklin and Donaldsonville, this would give me another excuse to visit them.

I had every intention of going but unfortunately, I lost my job at Echostar. I developed an ear infection that decided to spread to the TM joint in my right jaw and since my job required me to be on the phone, wearing headphones and talking all day, it kinda interfered with that in a big way. I ended up missing nearly three weeks of work and my employers, being the understanding folks they are, fired me despite the medical documentation. I've since gotten another job but even if I could come up with the money to go, there's no way I can get the time off. I'm planning on going back to school to get my associates degree in pre-K education and my certification in sign language; since I have a BA in English, I should be able to take care of that pretty quickly. Hopefully, if there is another Al Fest in the future, I'll be able to go to it since I should be in a better job by then.

I'm gonna have to stop reading about all the fun things and great people who will be at Alfest. And the cake. When I think of the cake I could just cry.

Don't worry about the cake. The cake is a lie, after all.
