What is it with October 6th?

I had a tough time deciding to attend my sister's wedding on October sixth.

When I got her invitation I'd already been planning to attend a Harvest Workshop with the Midwest Fiction Writers on that date. Soon afterward came the invitation to the Society of Children's Book Writers & Illustrators conference scheduled for the same weekend.

As of today I've also turned down invitations to help a friend move that day, attend a concert by another friend's band that evening and attend a gathering of fellow college alums that day.

Does every organization in the state have events planned for October 6th?

Edited to add: oh yeah: and the Mnstf meeting!

I think so. That's the day Minnesota's Wildlife Science Center is holding its Harvest Howl event.

I may end up going with a couple of friends. We may also end up opening our new MUCK on that date, as well.

A busy day indeed. That sounds like yet another interesting event I'll have to miss. :)

I have a wedding that day as well.

Yep. It's the date. There must be something about October 6th.

Dude! what *is* it with that??!? My mom's Birthday is that day, and I've been invited to *3* parties, there's a concert and I'm workign a double because a co-worker is on vacation that weekend. o___O;

It's *so* weird! Pretty much I've decided to take my mom to sushi after work and stay home and make dolls. (and watch netflix. :P)

crazy.

Is the moon full that day? Are planets aligned in the sign of a Twinky? What's with this?

I have it relatively free -- nothing except Incarnation Catholic Church (whose sign I once readoed as "Reincarnation Catholic Church") having a rummage sale (part of its Octoberfest) and the Mnstf meeting.
