Hey Karen!.. Yea I thought we were friends here already. Well,better late than never..:)
I won't make it this year. I'm so bummed out because of that. I've been there for the past 2 years and it's been so awesome.. I knew it last year already but I didn't really get it,or maybe I just didn't wanna realize the truth. Now I've seen people plan it as it get's closer and.... Damn,it really fucks with my mind.. Hopefully next year.
