I've trained and competed mostly outside since I've been doing Masters and have noticed that I lose some of my excitement when I compete indoors. I can see better and feel more "happy endorphins" when I'm racing outdoors. If you can relate or have found a way to overcome this, please let me know.
Here are the details and order of events for the December 1st outdoor meet in Seattle:

Yayyy: "First Annual Pneumonia Open" :banana:
Boooo: "No 400 IM or 1650, because you know, we’re not that crazy"
Yayyy: "Don’t worry if the air is cold, the water will be 82 degrees."
Boooo: "Swimmers may enter up to 4 individual events" (cue sound of door slamming and jaadams1 swearing loudly)
Yayyy: they're running the 500 free and the 200 stroke events :chug:
I did look at it, and will NOT be attending for a few reasons:
no 400 IM
4 event maximum (Why would I drive all the way to Seattle to freeze my @$$ off and only swim a few events???)
I have a local 3 day USAS Invitational here at our home pool in which I can swim 11 or 12 events over the same weekend. :banana:
our water will be about 83 degrees :D (YMCA pool)
