Hrrumph. I got no e-mail (but I'll send you my phone # anyway).
Aiyeee! I forgot you were there. Which is your own damn fault for traveling around and stuff. t /guilty rationalization
I'll send you the info when I get in to work today.
Come on. You drop by for a cup of coffee, and the world's not ending? Please.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: San Francisco, May 19-21, 2006! Everything else, go here! Swag!

Chi-Kat works pretty close as well, so hopefully we'll see her then also.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Does anyone who lives in the city know what the parking situation is like around Quimby's?
So-so on a Saturday night. You can probably find something off of North Ave. within a block or two. I can't remember if there's zoned parking in that area (where you need a permit to park on certain streets in the evening) but I think the zoned parking is further West. Later in the evening it will get pretty crappy, as lots o' suburbanites come to Wicker Park to party.

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.
Okay. Thanks.

I'm looking at train stuff for my great east coast journey and I'm thinking about getting a first class seat on the Acela Express. Has anyone done this? Is it worth the extra money?

It rocks, ND. It's a lot more expensive, but I highly recommend it if you have the extra cash. It's a big jump up from regular coach. You actually get servers and food to choose from and big comfy seats with tables.

I thought so. It's no lap of luxury, but the smaller number of stops alone can make a big difference, and you have outlets at your seat, which not all of the regular trains have. A bit roomier, too.

If I only had a brain...
The main event is the Saturday night party nicknamed "The Prom."
I'd like to mention that this isn't always the main event. If you are a party person (and many Buffistas are), the Prom is the centerpiece of the weekend. If you are a shy person who freezes up in crowds (and many Buffistas are), the centerpiece of the weekend is all the small outings. I had a lot more fun at Malibu with a Buffista subset than I did at the LA Prom; this is not because the LA Prom wasn't splendiferous, but is because I'm happier in small groups.
In the two official proms I've attended (Chicago and LA), there was lots to do for shy people too; the party is mobile and frequently subdivides.

Brenda, are we talking about the same first class? The business class is the one I found to be similar to the coach except for nicer seats and outlets. The only time I went first class, I felt like I was on a completely different train than I'd ever seen before.
