Are you getting up SF way, billytea? I'd love to meet you, too.
I don't know yet. I have definite stops in LA, Chicago and Atlanta (and if Bec's still there, Philly). Aside from those, places which could make the schedule are: Seattle (my firm's head office is there! Hello tax deductibility!), Portland, SF, San Diego, Phoenix, Salt Lake City, Cincinnati, NYC, Boston and London. Plus, I wouldn't mind taking some time to myself somewhere. Odds on all of them making the list: zero.
Anyway, I called for city pimpage a while back, and was met with an underwhelming response. So I'll probably be playing around with itineraries to see how many stops I can do and what works out cheaply, make my own list of pros and cons, and go from there. SF has the advantage of being Buffista-rich, and a nice place too. It has the disadvantage of the West Coast having too many candidates for my time as is, and I've already been there a few times. Such is the state of play.
Billy, I already pimped SF to you for Thanksgiving last time around, remember? And we got you. So I figure, any Bay Area pimpage is already in your excellent memory circuitry.

Yep, and there was an SF response this time round too. No one else though, IIRC.
I tell a lie, there was a Chicago effort. Chicago's on the list automatically, as two of my oldest friends now lecture in law there.
If you come to LA, Kristin and I will take you to Disneyland.
And the SD zoo! And the Wild Animal Park! And the Long Beach Aquarium!

Last I was in LA, I was two blocks from Disneyland, and still didn't check it out. I was so proud.
And the SD zoo! And the Wild Animal Park! And the Long Beach Aquarium!
Hee. Full marks for enthusiasm.
ETA: LA's a given. Because of the Wild Animal Park, and because of you guys. And because that's where the planes land, which makes it easy.
Shit. Must look into flights.
Not graduation, then? Well, you still get an invitation.
I suck. I know this. (But I got the QaF S1 DVDs from the library today! Zoltan!)
Billytea, if you come to Cincinnati, there's always the possibility of getting Cashmere to come down, or the Ohio-istas could all meet in Columbus so that Deena and clan could come down.
I won't even bother pimping the Zoo; you've seen it. You know.
I won't even make you eat Skyline! Unless you want to.

See, this is what I mean by the pimpage.

I do, I know many things. Such as that there's another of those wine evening thingies, this time featuring Australian animals, on August 10. Not that this has any relevance, of course. Just making conversation.
Can you e me with the reservation number, Jess?
Deb, insent. I suspect this is an issue which has been solved at the local level, but hasn't percolated up to the 1-800 # yet for whatever reason.
YAY Jess! I'm so glad you can come!
