Urbanarama

Anyone going to be in the St. Louis area between December 26 and January1? The Urbana Student Missions Conference is taking place in downtown St. Louis, Missouri, and since several Loud-Time participants have indicated that they're thinking about/planning to go, maybe we can all meet up at some point. My schedule is pretty tight, as is probably anyone's who's involved with the conference, but lunches might work--or early breakfasts or really late-night snacks. I think I'm getting hungry.

Post a comment with some potential times if you're interested.

I'm going to be helping out w/ Paul but I'm pretty flexibile and will go with the group (e.g. whatever Paul says :)).

After volunteering at U2K, I came to appreciate tight schedules. In fact, when I worked IT, I started my first day at 6 a.m. and ended it the following morning at 3 a.m....haha; it's something similar to '24'.

wait...so this year urbana is not going to be in urbana?? odd. i went to it about 5 or 6 years ago.
(i found your blog thru lisa's blog, and was just browsing, but when i saw that you're "in it for the comments" i figured i'd oblige.) :)

Yes, I know. Urbana is in St. Louis this year, not--as is fair to assume--in Urbana. I'm reminded of one of my favorite jokes:

Q: When is a door not a door?
A: When it's ajar!

Ha! Hilarious! Thanks for visiting, Bethany, and for indulging my covetousness of comments. Much respect for They Might Be Giants.

A great time for us all to meet up would be between 3:17 and 3:42 AM. Actually, maybe we could arrange to sit through a plenary together?
