This is gonna be a two part entry. The first part is about travel.
This means![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
rupes, rehana, zml, sheenaqotj, nickjong, bk1e, whitemage specifically. (Other Austin people are cool too of course but these are the people I would usually hit up to let me stay at their houses and all.)
I wanna go visit Austin, probably over either Thanksgiving or Christmas. Am wondering which is a better time to go, or if there some better time period to go, or whether there are any other big trip plans going down, or if anyone will even be around during either holiday. If Thanksgiving I need to figure it out soon since I'm also going to try to go to Pittsburgh on Nov 19th for Capture the Stuff With Flags. (It'd end up being something like I fly to Pittsburgh Thu-Fri, then fly to Austin on either Monday or Tuesday, and come back here on either Friday or Saturday)
I dunno if any of it's really feasible, maybe this is just me tossing out ideas to the wind, but it never hurts to ask. I mean, the major thing is that I don't know what to do for Thanksgiving this year. I could just stay in Pittsburgh for a week, but something tells me Carl isn't going to be hanging out in Pittsburgh for Thanksgiving.
And for the second part:
So I played a bunch of IIDX 7th tonight and a bunch of PNM 8. IIDX 7th was fun but I'm so damn out of practice. But PNM just made me want to cry. I can't figure out how to play 9-key on a normal controller, it just makes my brain hurt. 5-key is easy enough, and I played a whole bunch of games to start unlocking songs. And I hadn't even ever noticed that the second song on Sana-Mode II is "housy pop" in PNM8! So that was good. But ugh, I dunno how long 5-line is going to keep me amused. Bleh. Himeya won't be stocking ASC's until mid-December, and the Ransai guys are really busy with college.
How can I get in touch with the Lounge Austinites if I'm not on zephyr?

How can I get a damn Pop'n'Music Arcade-Style Controller?
