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?

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!

Thanks, Deb! I didn't mean to make this your problem when I posted but, boy-o, would I be thrilled to have a non-smoking room.

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

Sparky, it is my problem - I'm point person. This is my job. I agreed to do it.

That being the case, I'm a-gonna do it.

There will be non-smoking rooms for all who so desire, even if I have to go down there and Speak To People.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

So, it's looking v. good for the BF and I to attend the F2F this year. He's checking to see if he can get the days off, and if so, we'll be coming.

Quiet yay so as not to jinx things.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I'm definitely not going to be able to make it tonight. Have a great time for me!

Sorry to hear that, Perkins.

Meanwhile, for those attending, I'd like to direct your attention to smonster's live journal entry where she says, "do I move out here?"

When does our window to book rooms close?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

OK, the word from Eva, at Group Reservations at the actual hotel, rather than at Central Booking for the chain:

There is no reason for anyone to be having any kind of problem with a non-smoking room. Eva herself runs the hotel's internal block booking stuff, and put in the original order; she went back and looked and confirmed that she hadn't specified X number either way. She says there's absolutely no shortage of non-smoking rooms.

She gave me a number to get a code for this stuff, but we've been playing phone tag.

Looks as if it's already ironed out, but we'll confirm that in the morning.

Our wings are not tired

Thank you Deb. Non-Smoking rooms are one of the few things I get really picky about. I have an allergy to cigarette smoke that's usually very very mild, but sleeping in a smoking room like that will almost gurantee that I'm congested.
