raybearDo not bark up that tree, that tree will fall on you. Please no, not Ray, he's not for play.
I'm so laaaaaame.
Anyway, enough quoting lyrics. Let's return to the matter at hand. All previous topics for LJ entries have been temporarily postponed -- you'll have to read about my new payless shoes or the first entry in the chronicles of "Teachers I Loved" another time. Instead, I'm turning to you, dear reader, and polling the audience to help make a decision.
On Saturday evening, I had a wonderful event planned to see a very funny friend do her first ever stand-up routine. Now, we're not best friends -- I've only recently got to know her, and she's the girlfriend of one of MelRo's law school friends, but I like her a lot and hope to get to know her more. I went last weekend to see her perform as part of a comedy troupe, but this weekend will be her solo act. The event is at 7 pm. It will probably last about 2 hours, and probably an outing will occur afterwards. The event is located approximately 2 blocks from my house. I already said I would pay for a ticket.
I just got an e-mail from a student organizer of the queer undergraduate group at U of C. Their DJ cancelled on them for a queer party THIS saturday night. It's from 9pm to 1am. It's in Hyde Park (which is very far from my house, for those who don't know). They'll pay me $300.
I could try to do both. But I'd probably have to leave the comedy event at 8 pm to make sure I got to the DJ gig early enough, and the Stand Up Friend doesn't know when she's going (I just e-mailed her).
What would you do? {insert City High here} Keep in mind I'm generally anti-stress, anti-anxiety-inducing activities, and occasionally lazy. So instead, maybe I should ask:

Date: 2002-04-17 10:44 pm (UTC)The friend removed me from all future invitations, angry that I didn't show. In the end, I thought that I should have been more concerned about the friendship than about the money.
But then, I thought again and realized that if I had been able to explain the situation clearly, that a friend would understand and not react so strongly against me, the working class schnook.
Later, I thought a real friend would have understood without an explanation and would have welcomed me back with open arms when I returned, whenever that would be.
I would like to stay in touch with this person, because I like her and her future husband, but now I don't even know where to repair the problem.
So, what did you decide?
