I have always wanted to stay here at the Library Hotel ( [link] ) and would have for my birthday trip, but there was a minimum night requirement. Since I am only going in for one night, I didn't qualify.

HMOG I have always loved that hotel. I actually went on a business trip to New York where I could stay wherever I wanted and I, like a dumbass, told them to book me somewhere close to the meeting. ARGH!!!

The Empress, her consort, and the heir to the throne will be in Michigan January 20 - February 6.

Hey, I have a blank spot on my calendar Feb 1-4! Except that depends on a bunch of slacker college students actually being on schedule. Probably means it's unlikely for me.

Besides work Mon-Fri (9-5) I have no commitments lined up.

They SAY they'r showing off the baby, but I can't help notice they're fleeing California while Thessaly and I are there. (:

Well, that's dumb planning on their part now, isn't it?

So I have come to the F2F thread to organize this Michiganian convergence on Aims, MM, and Emma (hey! if you take the A and e from Aimée and the MM from MM, you can spell Emma! Or emmA.). If we can't all get together at one time, well, they'll be here for two weeks. There's time

It's only a 5 hour-ish drive. If there's a Saturday gathering I can probably head over, crash in a motel and head home Sunday.

Edit: Actually, on further reflection, my mother was pestering me over the holidays about when I was going to visit next. So a better plan would probably be to take Friday off and stay with my folks in GR, then head to a gathering on Saturday (should such a thing come to pass) and then back to GR that night. It's an extra 2 hours in the car over the weekend, but it cuts the individual stretches to 4 and 2 hours each and lets me see my parents as well.

Thank you, JonB. This was one of those times that made me acutely aware of my newness to the board. Now I'm all better!

Adds to wedding checklist.

Ha! Beat you too it, amych. I'm even going to make them dye their hair the exact same color!

I hope your wedding plans are progressing nicely.

Excellent. Make sure it's one that doesn't match any of their skin tones.

They are. At the moment, I am planning on no bridesmaids, but yes pinata. I may soften my stance and put some bridesmaids in the pinata, just for yucks.

I'm still marvelling at a relative's wedding that had eight bridesmaids and groomsmen. I half expected to find out that my cousin was marrying into royalty and the wedding photographer was going to be joined by paparazzi.

Well, that's dumb planning on their part now, isn't it?

Our ours, depending on how you look at it. (:
