The race is Sunday morning, so the morning after the Prom, right?
Zoe: Don't think it's a good spot, sir. She still has the advantage over us. Mal: Everyone always does. That's what makes us special.

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!

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
Aimee nearly did something quite naughty...
I told you she didn't lose it in the van.

Just to make sure all understand what you're getting into, Bay to Breakers is no ordinary race. It's a huge San Francisco thing and lots and lots of people will be doing it. There will be some serious runners. But there will also be lots of people running in costumes, or combined caterpillar costumes and people with strollers. It's sort of half race, half parade/spectacle.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Put me down for being a spectacle.
Again.

Put me down for being a spectacle.
I can guarantee that there will be dozens of women running in prom dresses and tiaras.
And probably twice as many men.

Bay to Breakers is that Saturday.
Isn't it on Sunday? Or do I have the day wrong?

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Nope, you're right. Sunday. My brainfart, there.
and not feel guilty about all of Deb's fabulous food that we're going to be stuffing our faces with. Oh, wait, I'm sous-cheffing. I won't be able to stroll. Or maybe I'll stroll for a bit and leave early.
Heh. You'll be stuffing down the fabulous food in the hospitality suite. The food the night before, at Prom, will be provided by the hotel's Sicilian chef - not only trained in Sicilian cookery, he's actually from Sicily. Since I prefer Tuscan cooking, and since he's indicated he expects to go pleasantly mano a mano with me on the menu choices, we should have lots of nifty stuff.
Oh, and the hotel said that if the weather's good, and we want to start the prom out poolside cocktails, they can do that, and then move the whole shebang, bar and most of food, indoors for party and dancing.

move out and draw fire
My FiL ran the B2B a couple times (as an actual competitive runner) so I'm pretty clear that it's people soup. But it's also one of those once-in-a-lifetime experiences, I think.
I also think we should adopt the natural progression from kilt + blue hair and just go as Picts, naked with blue paint.
And tiaras.
Aimee, I am all about strolling with you and the Emplette, but I'm not bringing my stroller as it's TOO FUCKING BIG. It's like the Lincoln Navigator of strollers. So it's backpack central. (This is if Mal is even with me and hasn't been kidnapped by a grandparent).

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
(This is if Mal is even with me and hasn't been kidnapped by a grandparent).
Or another Buffista. Gotta huff those sweet Buffista baby heads and eat them toes while the getting is good.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
While I admire all y'all for planning to run/walk/amble B2B, nothing will pry my ass out of bed that early on a weekend/vacation.
Crazy peoples.
