Dueling obsessions

I get my Vegas NIN tickets and then, then, I find out that's the same weekend as the First (ever) Mombasa Dragonboat Festival. In Kenya! And, it's not significantly more expensive than the First (ever) Disney Dragonboat Festival, which our team also nixed. (There's something to be said for both going, and NOT going, to a group's first attempt at running Dragonboats.)

This sport is totally picking up. Will I still be competitive enough in a year to be able to consider such things? Right now us amateurs can still participate.

But, this means the Philly weekend is going to be a lot assorted paddlers trying to see if, among 100s of teams, they can assemble a team for either of these things.
