Aint no way in hell I'm doing B2B.
Happy to cook a nifty lunch for those who want to come over afterward, though, provided I get some help cleaning up the hospitality suite before checkout time Sunday.
Dawn: I thought you were adequate. Giles: And the accolades keep pouring in. I'd best take my leave before my head swells any larger. Good night.

F2F 3: Who's Bringing the Guacamole?
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!

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
So, just a second - this race is happening at the same time as the F2F? Is that right?

...there is no way in hell I'm going to be fit enough to run it by May, even if I make it to SF. But I suppose I could conceivably walk it. In Fancy Dress.

I'll need to practice hills, though. I'm shite at hills. Flats, no bother...hills, otoh, equal wheezy death in the world of me.
Quite exciting to have this as a goal, though. Hmm...

Wait, so there's possibly Fay at the next F2F? Excellent.

the 8AM time is kinda killing me. I will have been in SF for a week or so at that point, so thoroughly adjusted to the time change. Can we start late?

Yeah, this 8-am-on-the-day-after-Prom thing might not work so well for me. Does everyone start at 8, or do some people join in later? I would be totally down with walking part (or maybe all) of the course with a group that started a little later. (In costume, naturally.)

Why not hook up with the group after the arduous/steep bits have been done? You've all got cell phones, yes? You could coordinate.

The front of the pack - the actual runners start at 8am. It takes a while for the mass of people to move for the strollers (strolling people, not baby-prams) to make it across the start line. Not sure how long, but if I remember correctly I've heard them report that the first runners have finished before the last people crossed the start...

Also, before I forget, how many of our B2B participants are a) staying at the Holiday Inn, and b) planning to check out Sunday? It's no big, but I do need to make a mental note to talk to Sheila about luggage storage for those who need it. Luckily, there won't be a problem; if there's a concierge or events coordinator in this town who doesn't field those kinds of B2B requests every year, I'll eat the bellhop, with tarragon dressing.
