Oh man, I just heard about the twenty-four hour readathon on April 9, 2011 and I got all excited because it sounded like an awesome idea.

And then I looked at the start times and realized that because it's synchronized across the globe, instead of being able to do it the whole of Saturday, I'd have to start Saturday evening my time and end Sunday evening, so I can't participate. Sad.

Curses, synchronized schedules. *fistshake*

(It's not the first time that I've had to bow away from something interesting because of timezones and synchronized scheduling, and it most certainly is not going to be the last)

Even though we are +, our timezones are minuses. :(

Yeah, that's not very schedule-friendly. I wish I could do it at all, but I have something scheduled on Saturday that isn't reading friendly.

We could have our own mini DW read-a-thon and allow blog posts and meta-posting about blog posts to count, too.

I am insufficiently hardcore to attempt that, especially when time zones are against me - Do Nothing But Read day is more my speed!
