Weekend Plans

This Sunday is the benefit for my friend (guitarist) Brennan. We're playing at the thing, but Brennan is not playing, our other guitarist is going to be in FL (so I'll be playing guitar and a drummer friend is filling in on drums) and today our singer just came down sick. I'm not sure how this is going to go down; hoping he will pull through and be in shape to sing come Sunday...

Just found out that round trip tickets for the whole family to Malta is only $200 so hopeful that we can pull that off really soon.

It's way cheaper than I would have guessed. $67 round trip for an adult. And no hidden fees like in the US. That's the full price after tax.

that's because tax is embedded in nearly everything in the EU..

Yup, surprise taxes after the fact are bad. Just build it into the price. No one cares what the ratio is, only what the final price is.

I go back and forth on this. I suppose embedded is easier, the price you see on the self, online, whatever, is the price you pay, but it should also be clear as day as to what you are paying in taxes. It's what I hate about fuel taxes, you have no idea how much you pay in taxes on fuel - so the population doesn't get outraged.

You can always look it up.

Work and packing and stuff. Last weekend with @dominica. She's going back to the US this week so we have to get her ready as she is transporting stuff we don't need back with her. She goes to Rome on Monday.

Cleaning. What else can you do when you are jobless and trying to save every penny....

If she's in the cool kids' club, though, she'll have found out when she read MangoLassi!

Turning in our final documentation for the apartment today. Next weekend we have the moving company coming to give us an estimate. Then once we move (first week of May) we can focus on getting legally married. Then the house!

This is my "weekend with the kids". Dominica has been gone for days and won't be home till into next week. So this weekend is probably video games all weekend with the kids.
-
Going out for drinks on Friday night in my hometown with some guys I play D&D with. Driving home on Saturday morning and then doing something with the kids I'm sure
-
Going out to my parents' place Saturday for Mom's bday. Setting up a new DAW on Sunday so we can get started recording the new album.
