Where'd you guys end up going to dinner? I had company during the day and wasn't able to make it down there early.
At that Thai place just next door to Quimby's. (I forget the name, but it used to be Hi Ricki.)
We're proud to say that the Class of '99 has the lowest mortality rate of any graduating class in Sunnydale history.

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!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
There are definitely people in those pictures who I can't identify. I feel like a bad Buffista.
[These are my stream-of-consciousness reactions to Scola's pictures]:
It's Hec! And he's reading his book! And talking to....a puppet?
Good god, Scola has the best smile EVAH.
Interesting rat puppet.
Knut!
Erinaceous is so cool.
The glow sticks are super cool. Though I've never been in a bar that served drinks with glow sticks in them.
[And now Tommyrot's pictures]
Quimby's looks COOL!
I covet Miriam's curly hair.
Speaking of hair, DAMN, Hec -- yours is long!
And....I still don't know who some of those people are. Who's the guy sitting next to Madrigal in the dinner pictures? And the guy sitting next to erinaceous? And the guy sitting between Miriam and tommyrot -- is that Knut? I can't tell b/c he's not wearing glasses.

Who's the guy sitting next to Madrigal in the dinner pictures?
Madrigal's got a boyfriend.
And the guy sitting next to erinaceous?
That's erinaceous's DH.
And the guy sitting between Miriam and tommyrot -- is that Knut?
Yep.

At that Thai place just next door to Quimby's.
That place we almost went to?

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Is that ChiKat sitting on David's right? Or Kathy Astrom? And then who's the person sitting between her and Madrigal's boy? Is aurelia in any of these pictures? I realize I don't know what many of the Chicagoistas look like.
erinaceous looks very much like the woman who runs one of my favorite local bookstores, who is smart and sweet and awesome.

I don't remember. Although we might have almost went to Pot Pan, where P-C and I had lunch. That's about two or three blocks away.

Is that ChiKat sitting on David's right? Or Kathy Astrom?
ChiKat has short-ish blonde hair, and Kathy has dark hair that's between chin- and shoulder-length.

Yeah.
Or Kathy Astrom?
She's to ChiKat's right.
Is aurelia in any of these pictures?
She had to work late that night. She showed up at Miriam's, but I didn't take any pictures there.
When I get time I'll have to put proper captions on that page....

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I think the order was Hec, ChiKat, Kathy A, then Madrigal's BF.
Such a fun weekend. So cool that Hec talked Madrigal into coming down. And then Scola shows up, and virtually all the Chicago area Buffistae managed to put in an appearance at some point. (I missed aurelia, though. Hi!)
I had a friend with me on Saturday for the reading, and it was so funny making introductions at the dinner table. "This is David. And David. And this is Kathy, and next to her is...Kathy. Oh, but here's Tom! And, um, Tom."
Somehow I managed to take one picture and appear in none. I'm not very good at this camera thing.
