[02:42] <eps> Is http://loco.ubuntu.com/teams/ubuntu-california/events supposed to be empty?
[02:44] <philipballew> nobody has anything planned i guess

[19:12] <kdub> what up california
[19:12] <kdub> anyone come down this way for comic con last weekend?
[19:16] <MarkDude> hey kdub comican would be great
[19:16]  * MarkDude is at oscon
[20:55] <aaditya> Hey MarkDude, how's OSCON going?
[20:55]  * aaditya is back in cali after a long trip.
[20:55] <aaditya> Wish I could make it to Portland.
[20:55] <pleia2> aaditya: go anywhere exciting? :)
[20:56] <aaditya> pleia2: yep, Canada!
[20:56] <pleia2> well at least it's not hot up there
[20:56] <aaditya> Visited my family, enjoyed hot and humid summer.
[20:56] <pleia2> oh :)
[20:57] <aaditya> It's way hotter than cali, lol.
[20:57] <pleia2> east canada?
[20:57] <pleia2> I was in philly over the weekend, it was brutal
[20:57] <aaditya> Yes, Toronto.
[20:57]  * pleia2 nods
[20:57] <aaditya> Philly ain't far from there. Same weather, approx.
[20:58] <pleia2> heat index was 120F when I got off the plane friday afternoon
[20:58] <pleia2> it was awesome
[20:58] <pleia2> (not really)
[20:58] <aaditya> haha yeah, a bit too hot.
[20:59] <pleia2> my sister lives up in Maine and it was pretty hot there too, she was complaining all weekend :)
[20:59] <aaditya> Toronto was in 90-100 range most of the time. Didn't rain once, though they say it rains there all the time during summers.
[20:59] <pleia2> hah
[20:59] <pleia2> it's raining in philly now, brought the temps down into the 80s (of course, now that I'm back home)
[20:59] <aaditya> haha, same!
[21:00] <aaditya> It rained there right before I got there, and right after I left.
[21:00] <pleia2> hehe
[21:01] <aaditya> The stay was alright. The actual fun was in driving there.
[21:01] <pleia2> you can pretend you're going really fast because it's KM!
[21:02] <aaditya> haha, yeah. 140kmph on the highway was pretty normal there.
[21:02] <aaditya> Felt like driving a sports car.
[21:02] <pleia2> I was up in edmonton a couple months ago, first time I'd driven in a rental up there (last time I was in canada I had my own car)
[21:02] <aaditya> But I was referring to driving *to* Toronto
[21:03] <pleia2> wait, from where?
[21:03] <aaditya> from here.
[21:03] <pleia2> !
[21:03] <pleia2> that's a long drive :)
[21:03] <aaditya> yep, took a while. :P
[21:03]  * pleia2 likes airplanes
[21:03] <pleia2> :)
[21:04] <aaditya> lol. I can't wait to drive there again, though I'm never doing this kind of thing alone again.
[21:04] <pleia2> the longest road trip I've done was philadelphia to new orleans
[21:05] <aaditya> that's a couple hundred miles, right?
[21:05]  * aaditya googles.
[21:05] <pleia2> haha
[21:05] <pleia2> it took 24 hours, we drove straight through and were hauling a uhaul trailer
[21:05] <aaditya> whoa, ~1220
[21:05] <aaditya> That's a pretty long one!
[21:05] <pleia2> yeah, and it was fun
[21:06] <aaditya> nice.
[21:06] <pleia2> was a guy from my loco in pennsylvania who was moving and wanted a road trip buddy :)
[21:06] <pleia2> I was like "I'm up for an adventure!"
[21:06] <aaditya> ah, fun
[21:06] <pleia2> so we drove down sat-sun, I got to explore the french quarter for a couple hours, then I flew home sunday afternoon
[21:07] <aaditya> Where's the french quarter?
[21:09] <aaditya> a place worth exploring, nice.
[21:09] <aaditya> pleia2: so you've lived in Canada?
[21:09] <pleia2> it's the tourist district in new orleans
[21:10] <pleia2> nah, I was just driving up from philly
[21:10] <pleia2> my sister lives in edmonton though
[21:10] <pleia2> er, in alberta, a million miles from edmonton and civilization
[21:11] <aaditya> AB is a beautiful place I've heard.
[21:12] <pleia2> yeah, the family members who have visited her all tell me she lives in a beautiful, wild place
[21:12] <aaditya> So close to nature. Can't get any better.
[21:12] <pleia2> 50 miles outside of the nearest town, 7 of which is unpaved
[21:12] <pleia2> I don't know, I quite like cities :)
[21:12] <aaditya> haha, that's taking it far. I hope it's worth it.
[21:13] <pleia2> he husband works up on the oil sands, so they need to live somewhere relatively close to them
[21:13] <pleia2> s/he/her
[21:14] <aaditya> Ah I see. It sort of makes me envious.
[21:14] <aaditya> If I could, I'd put my cottage in the woods somewhere. On the other hand, my parents prefer cities, hence Toronto.
[21:16]  * pleia2 nods
[21:16] <pleia2> my mother lives pretty far in the middle of nowhere in maine, but nothing like my sister
[21:16] <pleia2> I am a bit of an odd duck in my immediate family
[21:17] <pleia2> I flew my mother down to philly last year before I moved out here, she was a bit overwhelmed from the moment she landed - we were immediately plunged into philly rush hour traffic leaving the airport, ouch.
[21:18] <pleia2> I didn't mind a whole lot, but she was all kinds of "this is why I live in the middle of nowhere! I hate traffic!"
[21:18] <aaditya> That's no fun, lol.
[21:18] <aaditya> But there's pros and cons of each.
[21:18] <pleia2> yeah
[21:18] <pleia2> I like vacationing in the middle of nowhere :)
[21:20] <aaditya> That sounds relaxing, esp. when you're in such a happening city like SF.
[21:39] <jyo> Wow, it's actually <70 in Fremont today.
[22:52] <philipballew> hey pleia2, hows your labor day lookin?
[22:53] <pleia2> philipballew: unfortunately lookin like I don't actually have money to travel more right now
[22:53] <philipballew> understandable, you need to save your money so you can have a really great wedding!
[22:54] <philipballew> thats gonna be a big day for you
[22:54]  * philipballew says statements he has no experience with
[22:54] <pleia2> hehe
[22:55] <pleia2> but yeah, that's a big part of my budget now
[22:55] <pleia2> doesn't look like my master plan to elope will work ;)
[22:55] <philipballew> reno is like what 3 hours?
[22:55] <philipballew> you could be there this evening! haha
[22:56] <pleia2> well, except that MJ is in north carolina right now
[22:56] <pleia2> I've never been the "omg wedding!" type, so planning this fills me with an unfortunate amount of dread
[22:56] <pleia2> fortunately I have friends to help :)
[22:57] <philipballew> just try to make it as geeky and possible and it will work out well
[22:57] <pleia2> lol
[22:57] <DarkwingDuck> I eloped to Vegas.
[22:58] <pleia2> it's really for families I think, so it'll be on the traditional side
[22:58] <pleia2> and jewish (I'm not jewish or converting, but that's ok)
[22:58] <DarkwingDuck> ahhhhh...
[22:59] <DarkwingDuck> Yeah... We don't really have religious ties... Well, my mother but, she was willing to overlook that.
[23:00] <philipballew> it seems all weddings are either for the bride or her family. haha. well, in America at least
[23:00] <DarkwingDuck> At the time, my wife wasn't on speaking terms with her family.
[23:01] <DarkwingDuck> So, we drove to Vegas and get married.
[23:01] <pleia2> MJ is the eldest grandson, which is kinda a big deal, so they all want a wedding
[23:01] <DarkwingDuck> ahhh.
[23:01] <pleia2> my family has weddings (and divorces) all the time, we only meet up for funerals
[23:01] <DarkwingDuck> Congrats.
[23:01] <pleia2> ah, my family :)
[23:02] <philipballew> where would we be with out them :)
[23:04] <pleia2> not in therapy? :D
[23:04] <DarkwingDuck> LOL
[23:04] <DarkwingDuck> Family keeps life interesting.
[23:05] <pleia2> hehe
[23:05] <philipballew> haha, i have to go to the bay for a family reunion this weekend, all 65 cousins or something like that
[23:05]  * philipballew needs a faq card for this
[23:06] <pleia2> I had a step-cousin hit on me at a family reunion once, who tries to pick up chicks at family reunions? ugh :P
[23:06] <DarkwingDuck> LOL
[23:07] <philipballew> is redneck inappropriate for the channel?  haha
[23:07] <pleia2> haha
[23:08] <pleia2> not nearly as bad as the blind date with a guy who became my step brother (thanks mom)
[23:08] <philipballew> i see them in auburn a lot. with there south confederate flags. All in the family right?
[23:08] <pleia2> hahah, nooo
[23:09] <philipballew> i try to avoid the families myself. seems easier
[23:10] <pleia2> I did for much of my 20s, trying to re-establish ties now
[23:13] <philipballew> Leeds to more facebook friends
