Wheeee! I can't wait to be hugged. my only fear now is that in order to get an affordable fare, one of the legs of our flight is going to have to be on one of those tiny SUV-with-wings things.
Aaaand I'll just let smonster deal with my neuroses from now on until I get the Xanax filled. Because she's good like that.
Fay, I'm so excited to see you, I can't even say. So I'll just say yay!
I've sucked and skimmed the whole thing, and my head is swimming with details Details!
I hate to ask so late, but if there is any floorspace, or hotel-room sharing still available, I'd love to get in on it. I'm not picky. I can reserve a room, but I'm just me, so it would lonely, expensive and lonely and lonely!
(Also, I'd like to go to the baseball game, if there's still room.)
AMYTH!! WHEEEE!
And was I correct in reading smonster will attend as well?
Our plans thus far: We are driving up Thursday with ND and Kristin. And possibly flying back Monday. But maybe driving back with them Sunday. Not sure on the return yet. It's infintely cheaper since Drew has the hybrid and it costs like a nickel to drive.
And was I correct in reading smonster will attend as well?
Looking like it! Yay for months with 3 paychecks!
does the dance of rock and/or roll
amyth, smonster has already been invited to make use of my floor space, and you are as well. It'll be a bit of a crunch, but we can do it! I'm also thinking of reserving a hotel room for Saturday, so we don't have to stagger back up to North Beach after dancing like maniacs.
Amyth - you are on the baseball list.
Hooray! Thank you, juliana! I'm happy to squeeze into whatever floor space is available. Whee!!!
Hotel room for Sat. night sounds like a good idea. I'm in.
Thanks, Maidengurl. Looking forward to the baseball game.

We need to meet a minimum cost of $1500 total food and beverage (the wine list is also in my inbox, but we need to discuss how to do the bar stuff).
I'm thinking a selection that includes something for everyone. At a hundred pieces a tray, there are some good solid options in this list.
Input?
