This weekend, I’m going on a retreat with Georgians for Choice. We’ll be staying in somebody’s cabin near Ellijay, and there won’t be internet access or a cell phone signal. Am I allowed to use the phrase “off the grid” to describe what my weekend will look like? (Probably not, because there’s a landline and electricity at the cabin.) I’m not sure what we’re going to do at the retreat other than eat and sit around; but that’s okay, because eating and sitting around sounds like a damn fine weekend to me.
On one hand, I’m looking forward to the retreat, but on the other hand, I’ll be missing Rusty and looking forward to getting back to Atlanta (civilization) on Sunday afternoon.
Oh, for those of you who don’t pay attention to my Twitter updates, our AC is fixed now. Last night we slept at our apartment for the first time in 11 days. There are other updates regarding this situation, but I’ll post them later.
And now that we can actually stay at our apartment again, I will post about the pole saga soon, too. Executive summary: Platinum Stages is a shady company that has fucking awful customer service. Don’t buy anything from them.

The GfC thing sounds cool, although I have absolutely no desire to be “off the grid” wherever I am. Even in Hawaii, I was constantly checking my phone signal on the boat to see if I could get an internet connection! Hope you have a great time & congrats on finally having an air conditioned apartment!
How’s it going? I was 2 clicks away from purchasing a “platinum Stage” And I saw your pictures on Flickr and then found your site. SO what’s the deal? I don’t want to throw $700+ dollars away and they seem to be one of the only companies doing this. Please post more info about this in your blog.
