50 ways to survive the GOP convention...

I need alternative ideas about what I should be doing to survive, ignore all this stuff that will just drive me crazy.
Help me and our fellow DU'ers with some ideas because I'm dreading next week.

2. Pick wildflowers.
3. Read the Constitution and figure out why conservatives hate it.

7. See if your local community college offers evening classes - pick a fun subject & sign up.

8. Check out some movies you've always wanted to watch, or watch old stand up comedy on youtube.

and play them instead of watching TV.

I am going to be playing a lot of Bob Dylan and Rage against the Machine that week.
