My favorite Keith wrecking story is definitely the birthday that included him (a) slipping on marzipan and knocking out a front tooth and (b) driving a car into a pool.

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!

I look more rad than Lutheranism
slipping on marzipan and knocking out a front tooth
That's a really embarassing way to lose a tooth. You'd think he'd lie about it. ("Oh, this? Bar fight. Yeah, had a barstool broken across my face. Pisser, innit?")

I wonder if the marzipan was on a pie plate?

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Keith wouldn't have bothered to lie, believe me. Would have been quite matter-of-fact about it, and surprised if anyone thought he ought to be embarassed. He didn't embarass easily.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Bingo!
Um, hello. I've skipped a bazillion posts since... August or something. I am gonna be at the F2F.
So, are there gonna be people arriving Tue/Wed/Thurs? My current plan is to arrive a few days early and hang with my aunt and uncle (who live in the Bay area) for a few days before heading off to the hotel....

Maybe pull out Honey West while they're at it (that only lasted a season, right?).
Right on!

Tommyrot, have you pinged "yes" in the poll? a few posts back in press. I'm leaving for meeting with hotel people in about an hour.
Good hotel rate for buffistae starts on the Thursday night.
Favourite story about Keith Moon - and Pete vets it - is his running off in a snit and throwing himself into the Atlantic Ocean off the pier at - damn, forget which, either Atlantic City or Asbury Park. Coast Guard out looking for him, whole nine yards. Finally called off the search, announcing "this one's closed - he's gone" and the voice floating up from under the pilings: "Nooooooooo I'm nooooooot...."

The poll for the Prom? Yes, I voted Yes.

Our wings are not tired
In LA we ended up keeping the Hospitality suite the extra day mainly so that we had it Sunday afternoon. Folks used it as the last place to hang out before they caught their planes and it was a good spot to catch folks for one last time before they left. The same thing happened in DC. If the cost is an issue, I'll pay for the extra day of Hospitality Suite.
