much travelling and an undignified plee for help

Currently on the bus, headed back north after a weekend in Seattle for vixyish's birthday. Highlights include scoring 100% on NIN's The Hand That Feeds playing drums on Rock Band on hard, an emergency run to the hardware store for gold paint, and shiny new brass gears.

But! I'll be taking it back down again Thursday, in order to fly to Denver. From there I'll get to Colorado Springs, where I'll be picking up a car we're buying to replace the one that was just wrecked. And then: roadtrip back to Seattle! Lots of new lines to add to my map, yay! And I can stop in Spokane to spend a few days helping my dad prep for Burning Man. Very much looking forward to all of it. (Except all the travel on Thursday. That day is largely going to suck.)

Speaking of... would anyone I know in the area be interested in doing me a huuuuuge favor? There is a shuttle bus from the Denver airport to Colorado Springs, but making it is going to be tight and it's not exactly cheap. If you'd be willing to replicate its services, I can offer my sparkling wit and finely-honed conversational skills in return. My flight gets in at 19:30 Thursday night.
