I couldn't help myself! I was looking at pretty pictures, then out the window at the snow and the cold, and I just thought why not do something crazy for once?
Now that that is settled, what on Earth shall I WEAR?
I like pancakes 'cause they're stackable. Ooo, and waffles 'cause you can put things in the little holes if you wanted to.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Yeah, I liked it a lot. The train system was brilliant--while you can get a pass for however long you're there, you can ride the trains on the honour system. Not that, uh, I did that. *cough* I'm sure Berlin in June will be a lot nicer than it is in January, but I quite liked Potzdammer Platz, which is a great shopping district and fun to poke around and people watch. It also has one of the two english-language cinemas if you ever want to go see a movie.
There's a bunch of museums--if you have a student card it would be really useful, because I don't recall any of them being free. Most of them are located near Alexanderplatz, where the Cathedral is. The Kulturforum would be worth banking a day, or at least a few hours, for. Also, make an appointment to go into the Reichstag, the Parliament building, because you can get some kickass views from the nifty dome. There's a Lush there, too, at Friedrichstrasse, the main street in the city.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
BTW- when you book a flight online, they charge you right away, but when you book a hotel room, you won't get charged until you leave, right? (I know, I'm unschooled when it comes to travel.)
IME, the part about the airline is correct. All the hotels I've stayed in, however, have charged me the first night's rate about a month in advance to "hold" the room.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Woohoo! I just got the okay for the week off March 20-25, so it looks like my midwest trip is on.

My experience is you don't get charged till you check in. If you ditch the reservation without calling to cancel (usually 24-48 hours in advance) they will charge your card on file one night's stay.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

A first night’s deposit by check or credit card will be due 10 days after the reservation is made to guarantee the room. Individual cancellations or changes must be received by May 6, 2005 or a first nights room rate will be forfeited.

F2F Money update.
We're still plenty ahead of the game but just wanted to let folks know that we've had money for overall weekend charges start to trickle in and we've also had some requests for help with room/travel expenses.
Money can be sent via PayPal at stagesound@earthlink.net or email me and I'll give you my snail mail address so that you can send a check.
