why I hate special events

it's the waiting. You know how it is, it's three weeks to go -- time to make firm commitments, and spend some coin -- and you've got six people signed up. A week away, and there might be 30. It drives me right up the wall.

The waiting. Arrrggghhh!! And when you're running with a crowd that is notorious for leaving things to the last minute, it drives you even crazier. For a special event, the stakes are so much higher, than, say waiting for Part Two of a great two-part episode of Buffy, you know? Reputations are at stake; funds are needed. No, those months of waiting to see how Spike has come through the summer -- at least, for those of us who don't visit spoiler sites -- is a blissful agony. That I can enjoy. But for special events, just shoot me now.

Or sign up early, OK?
