so, now i know how to do this - i get a prepaid credit card. everybody seems to accept that.

show tickets purchased. greyhound tickets purchased. and, i'm going to la dispute in toronto, a city i've transited through many times but never really explored.

now, what if the show is over late and i can't get to the bus before it leaves?

i don't expect this to be an issue for this particular show, which will almost certainly be done before midnight due to bylaws. it might even be done at 11:00. further, there's a short city bus ride back to the station, so i don't really need to catch the bus until around 12:30. that would be an issue that is more likely to arise in a smaller bar, in a less central location. if i make the trip, though, it's likely to eventually happen, and i'll want to make sure i plan accordingly when it does. i would simply need to plan ahead to take the morning bus, and figure out something to do for a few hours.

if it's at all tight, i'll make sure not to take a chance next time. but, i don't expect the weather to be particularly good, and that's a big factor in planning on an all-nighter in a strange city two weeks in advance.

i'll be there early, so i'll be able to get to nexus if i have to. i won't be stopping in london on this trip, though - it's express in both directions. next time...

but, now i need to call nexus.

i also picked up a 64 gb usb 3.0 card for $15 cdn. well, who wants a 64 gb flash card when they have 256 gb cards on the market? as absurd as this is, that solves the storage issue on the chrome book; it's going to be a long time before i fill up a 64 gb card, given that it's a secondary storage device. and, with that, the machine is built to any reasonable standard, and just about ready to travel with. i just need to set that blog up, and enter it into the rebuild process.

it's going to be nice this weekend, but i don't see anything happening in town. so i should be able to get back to what i was doing.
