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!

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

Brenda, don't know, but I can ask Lilibeth about it.

Our wings are not tired.

Oh, and in re the Prom cost, we'll need to give the hotel a 25% deposit - if my math is right, that's $375 plus whatever tax, but bumping it to $500 would be my own suggestion, if that's okay with Laura.

I'm good with whatever. Just let me know what you need.

I'll even make 'em stock something uber-dry and bubbly for me, since that's the only alcohol I drink. Heh.

Mmmm. This works for me.

Whoot! I have tickets! Arriving Thursday about 8 PM at San Jose - anyone else coming in around then? And then leaving Monday noon. Yay!

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

We can do that right now, if need be.

juliana, nope - they say they don't need it until about a week before the event. My own take would be to let the reserve build up a lot higher first.

Memo to self, ping Lilibeth about the cash bar deal.

Okay. Also, FYI - if someone wishing to donate has a WF account, you can transfer it straight to my WF account. Let me know (via email) if that's a preferred option, or you can PayPal, or you can send a check.... Whatever. I'm easy.

edit And the PayPal account is staying the same - the better to move money in and out (IOW, I'd have a $500/month cap on my transfers out with a new, free account).

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Anyone want to go to Alcatraz? I have a sick and twisted need to shut Em in a cell and take a picture.

The Alcatraz tour is pretty cool, actually. You take the ferry boat out there so you get a beautiful view of the Bay. Then you put on the award winning audio-tour which has first-person accounts by the guards and prisoners there (with sound effects!)

Emmett owns it on CD and makes me listen to it when we go to school sometimes. (He's a big Alcatraz fan.)

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

I could be interested, depending on timing. Last time I was in SF (good grief, looong time) I was but a poor student and couldn't afford to do Alcatraz. But really wanted to.

Alcatraz is a very well-done tour, and also a bit creepy. I'm glad I did it before the damned MS made boat trips hell instead of pleasurable.
