Wait, so there's possibly Fay at the next F2F? Excellent.
This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

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!

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?

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

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.

Nora, you mean, at the hotel? We're safe, because we block-booked nice and early. But this is one of the more famous races out there, and I have no clue about what happens with air bookings because of it.
Hell, you've got what I tend to think of as THE big famous race; even as someone who is forbidden from running due to plastic in ankles, someone says "name a city with a Marathon!" to me, I immediately say "Boston!", with "New York!" right on its heels. Does Boston crowd up massively during the annual do?

definitely, Boston proper does. And many people who work here are fortunate to have Marathon Monday off from work so they do not have to deal with the traffic, or they can take off for a blessed 3 day weekend!
I meant hotel reservations. So, OK, we're covered, as long as we book before the cut-off.
