I want to go.
Pros:
- How often does someone I admire get this close to Winnipeg? Not often.
- I haven't done anything fun and spontaneous in forever.
- The Canadian dollar is very strong right now.
- I loves a road trip, and have never been to Minneapolis.
- Gas is relatively cheap right now.
- Ikea is in Minneapolis.
- I want to go.
Cons:
- I would have to rent a car and get a hotel room. Money is, um, not as tight as it was, but is tight nonetheless.
- It's an eight hour drive, one-way.
- I shouldn't really ask for time off work. I've only been there two months.
- I have a huge deadline at work.
- Crossing the border is a huge PITA.
- I don't have a passport.
- Who would look after my cats?
- I have never met this person. She may think I am stalking her.
So, should I stay or should I go?

I would convince myself that my friend NEEDED to go - after I had convinced them that this was going to be the trip of a lifetime.
And isn't it just a training trip - for when Yarn Harlot comes to Minneapolis for instance?
An able-to-drive friend is preferable.
Then I would find a non-knitting friend to look after the cats. Perhaps a crocheter? (Serve them right for staying on "the dark side".)
Is there any work-related research that can only be done in Minneapolis? (Overtime will beat the huge deadline.)
I didn't think passports were needed at the border - yet - for non-airline travel.
Oh never mind. Of you haven't convinced yourself yet, I certainly won''t be able to do it.
And besides, I am probably just jealous!
Enjoy,
Janey
