Define "southern" as I was idle in chat at the time of this discussion.

I live in the Metroplex (i.e. DFW), and am willing to drive upwards of 300 miles to do random things. Anything more than that is just silly. Also, if I do have to drive that distance, I'll likely be sleeping on the ground in the middle of nowhere, because a 600 mile round trip in one day is also silly.

Also also, I can hijack Cactuar since s/he (sorry, still learning all of your internet-genders) is next door, and ThornQueen because she is also next door.

And when? Because I'll be in Vegas at the end of August for work, and only have like... three vacation days left until mid-September; though when it rolls I'll have lots of time to take off and I always take a week of vacation at the end of October before the holiday blackout at work.
