I'm happy for it being in early October, as it previously used to fall on the weekend we'd celebrate my husband's birthday, which meant I'd be doing most of the parenting and letting him relax a bit more. This works much better for me now.
As for what I'm looking forward to, it's the forum games and all of the chances to win coupons during the weekend. My scrappy mojo has been lacking a bit these past few months, so I'm looking forward to getting back into it more again.
