The kids will miss us.
Oh, they can take care of themselves. In the absence of drywall screws and duct tape, anyway.
Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

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!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Again, I will sigh. I didn't vote, because SF and Seattle are equally easy for me to get to, which is to say I probably can't go either place. I'm not going to make G use a vacation day he doesn't have, so I'd have to go alone. Financially, that's a bit hard on me, plus I'd feel weird going by myself. sigh...

The status is NOT quo.

Sheryl, you do remember that I went to both of the last two F2F's sans husband, right? Trust me, it's a ton of fun.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Jessica's gone solo, Heather's gone solo, Dana's gone solo, and probably many others I'm blanking on. It's a whole F2F thing. Plenty of shy people and temporarily spouseless married people to hug the wall and commiserate with.

Our wings are not tired.
I hope by next May you will reconsider Sheryl. By then G might just want to use a vacation day too. Brendon has always been a last second attendee.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
I went solo to DC, but then again, I've run off to France with my girlfriends, so I'm probably weird that way; one of the best ways I've found to keep a marriage fresh is not stay too joined at the hip. Makes those trips we do take together a whole lot more fun.
Came from neuro, and lunch with JZ, to find thrilled message from Sheila Fonseca. She is buying me coffee tomorrow morning. Details will be hammered out. Notes will be taken.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
I'm very excited for the San Francisco-ness.
continue crossing fingers and lighting candles that I won't need to work that week/weekend...

Well, I'll see. One thing about SF being the city for the F2F is that if G is able to come, we won't have to worry about the hotel cost.(G's aunt and uncle live in SF, in fact they're basically around the corner from Hec and JZ)
If I do go solo, I will need a roommate. I'll keep people posted on this.

Oh no! Voting was only open a couple of few days?!! Dang!! I really, really wanted to vote! Heck.

Back from nice breakfast meeting with Sheila.
As follows, set out nice and simple: Rooms are block-booked. We'll have a three-week cutoff (with room for last minute deciders, so no worries there). People wanting to reserve will be able to do so directly by calling the HI's 800 number. The rooms, special rates, will be under "buffistas". erika, bebe, for your room, if you're doing the hotel? You get VIP treatment; you will have your very own events coordinator to work with directly. We have, as I say, a pencilled-number of blocked out rooms, and will be expected to cover 85%. Knowing that in advance, I kept the minimum nice and low, with total upward ability at the high end. Major room to move around.
The hospitality suite will be done up to our specs: beds removed, fridge and extra tables/chairs brought in. It's a two bedroom suite with big living room and nice sizeable TV; I believe there's already a DVD player in there, and if not, they have no trouble with us bringing in our own.
For credit card stuff, I'll be pinging Laura later today.
