With summer quickly approching, i'm curious what people plans are. I've planned a vacation to the Poconos, plan to go to a few concerts, and catch up on my sleep. Hopefully i'll do other stuff, but who knows. ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |

Well I was planning just to see a few shows around here and do Nearfest in July.. maybe go up to Cape Cod for the 4th... but now it looks like I need to go home to North Carolina for a family reunion... and a quick trip to Germany at the end of the month that will probably cost me a fortune... Why doesn't anything ever go smoothly.... ------------- THIS IS ELP

Well, for the next week I'll be finishing up my school year. Our finals were three weeks ago, we're currently in a Spring Term instead of regular classes, so I'll be taking fencing in the morning and sundials/solar calenders in the afternoon. After school gets out I'm off to Cambodia for two weeks to help with some missions work. Then, at the end of June, I'll be celebrating my birthday. In early July I'm going down to Tennessee with my youth group to stay on housboats at Dale Hollow Lake for a weekend. The rest of my time will be spent hanging out with friends, listening to music, and possibly working (if I can find a good place to work). ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/kingofbizzare/?chartstyle=asimpleblue5">

We'll be going to Cali to visit my Mum (Dad sadly died 2 months ago). Lots of on the beach fun. The kids will love it.

On the road solidly for the next two months but.....
looking at going somewhere - me and my girlfriend, mate and his girlfriend - in Greece in August. I've been recommended Santorini. The last time i was there was 10 years ago and it was cool. But I'm concerned it's gone all lager lout touristy and over-developed. Looking for a quiet island, with a bit of history, not too many tourists, relaxing, with emphasis of good food, and chilling. Any suggestions anyone? |

sorry, should also have specified that the location has to have beer prices that do not require a second mortgage, restaurants where you're not expected to leave your car as part payment for a green salad and ummm oh yeah some freakin' sunshine!!!! |

When I was in Ibiza last year the prices were horrendous. But it was bloody perfect weather! |

Ibiza? Ah another debauched weekend of live sex shows, rampant disco-biscuit induced madness and mayhem for Tony R was it? You little club bunny you....

Disco biscuit - ecstasy, a drug which induces
euphoria, a profound sense of well-being, a feeling of closeness to other people and a sense of the goodness of your fellow man/woman.... wait a minute, now I KNOW why you haven't got a clue what a disco-biscuit is

I'm going to France, to the north west coast, it's just a short drive from where I live in Belgium. Having fun in the sun I'm going to meet some family and Friends in Holland too, and attend a Van Der Graaf Generator concert in Amsterdam. This is all pretty uninteresting |
, I hope, with my wife and kid. I'm not sure about the sun part, but hey, I don't really mind a lot.
, isn't it? Not really life in the fast lane 
. Still, I'm looking forward to it. Posted By: gleam

Work, probably. And delving further into the existence of music and literature, no doubt. ------------- "Don't listen to me." |

I'm going to be working. I'm going to be starting my University course in September, but am still unsure as to whether or not i want to commit myself to 3 years of studying...
Out of interest, what is the US Minimum Wage? In the UK it's £4.85 for people aged 21 and over (i think), and £4.20 an hour for 18 - 21. That's around $8.79 an hour for over 21's and $7.61 an hour for 18-21 year olds. -------------

Its $5.15/hr for all ages. Thats the federal law anyway... some of the more liberal northeastern states or alaska may have higher minimum wages than that, but I'm not entirely sure. I think its a reasonable amount, even if it is less than other countries. Minimum wages that high can really be taxing on small businesses. ------------- I bleed coffee.

Its an interesting topic, but lets not let this thread devolve into
political flamewars over minimum wage. If anybody wants to discuss it,
start a thread. More summer plans! ------------- I bleed coffee. When I don't drink coffee, my veins run dry, and I shrivel up and die. "Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso? Is that like the bank of Italian soccer death or something?" -my girlfriend |

And can make you feel crap on the following "Treacherous Tuesday"...apparently 
As far as my summer goes - there's the Glade Festival in July (electronic dance for 3 days - sorry), Cropredy in August (Fairport Convention's annual bash - always a blast!), a week on the northern canals in September (we do this every year - hugely relaxing), and in between trying my best to get an acceptable set together to be able to play club chillout rooms; my set so far is a combination of electronic ambient with occasional journeys into prog (Tangerine Dream, Pink Floyd, Peter Mergener) - my attempted cross-pollenation between dance/prog continues...
JrKASperov - you just trumped us all! Congratulations & all the best for your future lives together
