I just talked to my tattoo artist, Chris Dingwell. I'm sending him photos of my tattoo to refresh his memory and start planning, and we'll be getting together late this summer to work on finishing it! Wheee-hooo!

Does anyone have any suggestions for especially affordable ways of getting to Portland, Maine from Cleveland, OH? If you happen to know handy hubs or such, that'd be great. I can easily Hound it to the Akron and Columbus airports if that's more efficient. I'm doing searches myself at the moment.

I don't know if this means the sound of the tattoo machines on LA Ink is going to drive me more or less crazy now (*crave*).

Edit: It's about $100 cheaper to fly to Boston. Does anyone there know if there's public transit between Boston and Portland that's reasonable?

This makes me feel, in its way, like the way I felt when I heard Germany was reuniting or Rutland had regained autonomy: something deep in the cogs of the universe has just become righter.

*boggle* Wow; how bizarre!

I'll definitely post as plans get firmer. Right now we're looking at August at the earliest, but I should have a more definitely date within a few weeks.

By which time we should have actually MET, IRL and everything, at the upcoming Firebowl Fiesta, yes?

If you fly here, I will drive you out there!

[moominmuppet.livejournal.com]

Absolutely, yes, yes!

Actually, I was going to talk to you about that as one of the options, and had mapquested the distance from Albany earlier yesterday.

you can take a greyhound bus from boston to portland for about 35 dollars if you book in advance. also there's a train that goes from boston to portland, but i suspect it costs more:
