You could bring the midget with. Introduce her to Braedon, they fall in love, get married and produce the strangest kids ever born ('cause you know his kids are going to be fucked up.

Okay, this is a valid reason. Forgoing travel to a place/event you've already done to go somewhere new and meet up with a friend with like interests. Whatever, with your logic. :sticks tongue out:
