Teen Drama Links for May 21, 2024
Unlike the last two years, I was actually in town during last weekend’s “One Tree Hill” convention. But I still didn’t attend.
As I explained last year, I find the costs associated with these events, whether it be Friends with Benefit’s “One Tree Hill” festivities or something like “90s Con,” unjustifiable. As much as I’d like to attend in theory, I find it all a bit ridiculous in practice.
And this weekend in particular, I did something much more special.
I spent time with both of my parents in Wilmington for the first time in nearly 10 years.
When I moved down here from New York in the fall of 2014, my mom and dad accompanied me to help with the transition. But since then, for various reasons, they’ve only been able to visit me one at a time.
Until last weekend.
For 48 hours, I had my parents here at the same time.
The weather wasn’t great. Things didn’t go exactly as planned. But there is nothing else I rather have been doing, no one else I would’ve rather been with.
“20in23 Redemption Weekend” attendees, I’m really happy for you. But I just had one of the best, most memorable weekends of all time.
Note: Yes, I accidentally published a draft of this post on Sunday afternoon and then had to unpublish it. Yes, I am mortified. I apologize if you did not receive this official, updated version in your inbox today.
