ND, the Miracleborns, and I will be there for most of the day Sunday, but we'll be driving back to LA some time late afternoon. I think ND and I were going to try to go up to the Winchester House in the late morning, but we still plan to at least pop our heads into the BBQ before we take off.
Simon: Captain... why did you come back for us? Mal: You're on my crew. Simon: Yeah, but you don't even like me. Why'd you come back? Mal: You're on my crew. Why we still talking about this?

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.
I can't imagine there'd be any problem at all with the sheesha, sweetie - so long as you're willing to risk dealing with an airport customs guard at your port of entry who will likely think you're saying "hasheesh" when he asks you identify it. So long as you're out of doors, no problem; while I don't allow smoking tobacco inside the house, I provide ashtrays and I have two excellent porches that can be hung out upon. Also, Jeannie (downstairs) is a smoker, and doesn't do it indoors any longer because she doesn't want the house to smell like tobacco, so there's always her ashtray out on the back porch, as well.
As I say, though, whether a partial attendee or a fulltime, please please to send an email? There's no way in hell I'm going to be able to keep the lists straight if I try to assemble it all from here, especially since the previous week is HWA and the women writers' arm of horror, Persephone, will be doing signings and I'm hosting a party here for them, as well....

Kristin, as said above: ANYONE COMING, PLEASE EMAIL!
It's a "trying to correlate all the info from the thread will make Deb's head explode" deal.

Our wings are not tired
Thing is though, isn't the Winchester House a decent distance south of the City? Also, does anyone know how long we should plan on being at the Winchester house?

move out and draw fire
Do you need ashtrays for sheesha? I've only ever seen it smoked in a hookah.
Tequila lime tart sounds fantabulous, deb.
I saw a bottle of champagne yesterday that was all done up in a red latex corset. The Jean-Paul Gaultier edition. Do they have this in the US? If not, it's probably my contribution.

There will be stern reminders, issued with my usual lack of tact, to please pick up after yourselves as much as possible, to minimise the issue.
Oh I have a gooood nasty glare that kinda works for this. I predict cooperation.
So sad that my flight departs SFO 1pm Sunday. At least I won't have to choose between all the things that I want to do. Sigh. Stupid work.

Because books.
ND and Kristin, count me in for the trip to the Winchester House, please!

Fay, I'd love to try the sheesha if you bring it. I'm not a smoker at all, but it sounds so very exotic I'd like to say I've tried it once!
Tequila lime tart sounds absolutely fab! I love anything with lime in it.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Do you need ashtrays for sheesha?
Nope. But I think Deb was just demonstrating her chilled-with-people-smoking-outside-ness, rather than suggesting a link between the sheesha and the ashtray, as such. Maybe.
Well, if people are interested I could totally bring one over, and a selection of flavours of tobacco. It's very "Egypt, baby"

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Jess, the swag page has been saying the tote bag is "temporarily out of stock" for nearly a week, maybe more. I wanted it because I use totes--a lot (I'm trying to *not* wear out my Nillytour tote), and the tote has Pete's SF2F graphic plus the tour dates on it. Can we make more? Can we make *them* make more?
