Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

F2F 3: Who's Bringing the Guacamole?

Hotel Update for NOLA F2F:

For the record, I've emailed our contact twice and not gotten a response. He's been very prompt up until now, so I'm wondering if he's been on vacation or replaced. I sent a follow-up email today and will be calling on Monday if I don't hear from him.

FWIW, they seem to have gotten the price thing worked out. Or they quoted me the right price when I got my room.

Hey there, DH and I will be in San Francisco for a wedding the first week in May. If we can arrange it around the wedding and my parents' plans, I would love to see some foamy Bay Area-istas!

Also, Hec, if you could let me know where that place with every soda known to man is, and also the kick-ass NYC style pizza place in the East Bay, I'd be very grateful.

Our wings are not tired.

Once again I am traveling the week of the F2F. I'll be in Salt Lake City the 16th - 18th or so, then home and frantic turn around to New Orleans.

The really tough part is that Brendon is supposed to be playing in a basketball tournament that week so his choice is either basketball or no SLC and no NOLA. This assumes his team wins early in the week and is still playing on the weekend.

Ugh. He probably won't make up his mind for a while.

Hey, did Brendon ever get his Utilikilt? I'm up to 5 of them now.

He hasn't! I need to get on that right away so that it is ready in time. He did want one. It needs to be of the big and tall variety because a short kilt just wouldn't be right.

They make them in all shapes and sizes, so I'm sure they can fit him as needed. Give them a call, they are really nice folks.

Okay, running the numbers again on the F2F 2005 and here's where we are at.

Main fund: $735 (Minus some paypal fees)

Travel Fund: $40

We are about 6 and a half weeks away from the event and we're still pretty short on cash. I've also had a few folks ask about money from the travel fund.

Beyond this we're racing up on the cutoff date for meeting our minimum number of hotel rooms. I believe that date is April 20th, so we're just under three weeks until that. I'm sure Kristin will post totals of where we are at with room resevations soon, but I don't think we're anywhere near the occupancy that we need to me.

I'm not intending to cry wolf quite yet, but just encouraging folks that if you tend to procrastinate, please don't.
