Oh, man, I've been wanting a new tattoo for years. I kept promising myself I do a Dixie Chicks and add a star or something else little for each book I had out.
So tempting, but tattoos ain't cheap.

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!

No, mine gave me sticker shock. But he did a great job.

No, they aren't. Which is why I've decided to go with something a little simpler. In fact, I may only get my current ones touched up a little to refresh the colors; they are, after all, 20 years old now.

I had my one and only touched up a few years back -- it wasn't too old, maybe three years, but the guy who did it the original? His very first night tattooing on his own. Did a good job, but the colors faded, and it needed a stronger outline. Cost over $50 just to do that, I think, and it's not big.

I should just point out that at an event known for its smooshing, hugging and general hi-jinx, including a buttload of walking and sometimes long flights, a fresh tattoo might be more itchy, painful, inflamed trouble than you might want.
Just my opinion of course.
Huh, wuzzat? Sorry, that signal might not have been clear enough, Kristin...

Yeah, you know...Pete's right. Hadn't thought of it, but... unless we want to forgo dancing to put ointment on each other(considers crowd. Pauses.) Personally, I'd think twice.

I'm getting the pig!
Oh, definitely after the prom. I'm not doing the marathon or the ballgame so I'm thinking my only free time is Sunday day, early afternoon. Which counts some people out, I'm sure. Maybe most, which would be sad. I'd hate to weep pitifully like a sniveling child without anyone around to snark at me...
Well, other than the tattoo artist, of course.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Sorry, bebe. I'll be spending Sunday morning snarling at the B2B coverage helicopters and getting shit ready for the post-race feed-up.

Well, dang. I've already agreed to do the B2B. Now I'ma have to pout, because I can't do both.

I was thinking of trying to do it post B2B - is that too late for y'all?
