Ridiculous, ridiculous idea

I was idly reminiscing about the old seagoth shopping trips, where everyone would meet up at one spot, and then we would carpool to various thrift stores.

And then my brain went "Wait, didn't one of the recent net.goth Convergences have an event where they chartered a bus and did the same sort of thing?"

So now I am pondering the logistics of organizing a gothy shopping trip where we charter a bus and hit four or five thrift stores. Everyone pay a certain amount toward the cost of the bus, and off we go.

PROS:

- No worrying about ratio of drivers to non-drivers.

- I could promote this on FB as a "shopping with Auntie Jilli" event, and I'm pretty sure the babygoths would come out in droves.

CONS:

- Cost, obviously.

- Would there be enough interest that translated to people actually paying the money to do this?

- Do I really want to / have time to organize an event?

In other words, my brain is ridiculous and perhaps not to be trusted.

It's a great idea! And I imagine there are a lot of options for vehicle-rental. I even have a friend with a short bus. Or you could rent a vanpool type thing. All depends on how many people, right? That sounds like a good time.

I miss those Seagoth shopping trips, too. And I'm perennially short of tops & accessories! I might just be down for a bus trip. I definitely would be for an old sk00l trip.
