Giles! I accidentally killed Spike. That's okay, 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!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Off the top of my head, the Upper Haight has Wasteland, Held Over, Buffalo Exchange, and the Goodwill store (which often is ass, but occasionally has some good surprises). Aaardvark's is also there and might be worth a quick look, but has been crap for rather a long while.

And for incredibly pricey, save-up-for-months extremely splurgey vintage there's LaRosa's and a new place that's opened up almost right across the street from LaRosa's -- both are quite expensive but worth it: very beautiful (frequently couture) vintage stuff for both men and women, in excellent, wearable condition. Not for the bargain hunter, but great for vintage pieces you'll still feel happy about years later.

IIRC, there may be some more vintage and thrift in the Lower Haight, plus at least one good record store, and there's plenty of thrift and vintage all along Valencia Street in the neighborhood of the pirate store and Good Vibrations.

The Fillmore, Upper Market and the Castro I don't really know at all, unfortunately (I remember looking out the car or bus window and seeing some places but have no recollection of exact names or locations), but if someone else wants to lead the way I'm there.

The status is NOT quo.

I'd bet that Kristin would want to get in on a Dark Garden trip too.

The man knows me well.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I'm totally up for a trip to Dark Garden

I need in on the Dark Garden trip, as I've been encouraged to get a properly fitted corset.

There will also be a thrifting trip to Haight Street, yes?

And I have specific thrifting needs, as well.

Shit. Must book plane ticket.

Our wings are not tired.

Skimmed.

Food: Can't eat onions ever but real good at knowing what has em or asking someone to taste test for me. Ingredient lists rock.

Badges: Have all my previous name tags. I think I wore them briefly, but still treasure them.

I want to go too!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Have thrifted w/ JZ in Haight. Highly recommend. Still hoping to join expedition this year.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Yes. This. And be damned to the expense.

And if I can't accompany JZ and Jilli to the thrift store...well, I'll cope manfully, but there may be weeping into my pillow.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I am pro-Dark Garden and thrifting on Haight. I think JZ and I should do a dry run first, though. Just to make sure it's all good.

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

Hee. I already emailed JZ about that.

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

Don't forget the cookie break at Citizen Cake, if Dark Garden is on the agenda.
