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!

So begging for the environmental allergy understanding-indulgence-awareness thing, please?

That would make me happy too.

Deb, I'm getting in Thursday afternoon, so think of me if there's anything I can help you with Friday.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Tequila lime tart it shall be

This sounds absolutely marvelous.

deb, thanks again for all your hard work. I know you dig it, but it's still a lot of work. And, it's appreciated.

Oh, deb? How are you around things like hairspray? Not that I use a ton, but I don't know how sensitive you and Nic are.

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

Please to consider this a general "my pleasure".

Also reminding both Amy and Fay that we have multiple cats. Luckily, we also have hard floors rather than carpets, air purifiers up the wazoo, and Robbie the Robot (I love the Dyson suckmonster with a stone passion) and I'm fierce about minimising the cat hair deal. Remember to bring allergy meds, just in case, though. And I usually have some in the house.

Nic hates but, but since I've been known to use it, he sucks it up. But if you mean just wearing it, rather than applying it in our bathroom? No problem at all. It's the mist that gets to him.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I will attest to the lack of cathair tumbleweeds in Deb's multicat household, plus the lack of attack-allergens for the mildly cat-allergic. In fact, my one-cat household has more visible cat hair on any given day than hers does.

I'm arriving on the same flight as Ginger, and hoping for a chance to hang out and kibbitz at least, if more hands-on help isn't needed. If you're not mired in prep, could we beg a pickup at SFO mid-afternoon Thursday? Gas money eagerly provided, as always.

Bev, thanks for reminding me - those needing pickup please email me? I can't do Oakland or San Jose pickups, but both of those have easy connectors to the City, and BART stops at the corner of 8th and Market, thirty seconds' walk to the HICC.

Because books.

I can never remember to wear perfume, Deb, and truthfully, much as I love it, too much makes me wheeze. So I never wear it anymore.

Also, will bring Claritin or something -- I'm cat allergic, but we had Puck for fourteen years anyway, because I wanted him. I know not to touch my eyes, or face, really, if I've touched a cat.

Saturday sounds like it might be better for Winchester House, but it's up to whomever's driving because I will be carless. And if I don't get to go, it's no big. I really want people, not sites.

Deb's house has the least cat hair I've seen in any house with cats, much less a gang of cats.

I've been trying to figure out if I can bring something like cheese straws or cookies, but the whole flying across the country thing makes it awkward.

Our wings are not tired

Hmmm. Wondering about the WInchester House expedition - it's actually in San Jose, a good 50 miles south of the City. Since it's essentially on the way out of town for ND, I'm not sure how you're going to a) fit it in, and b) get AmyLiz and others back up to the City, unless there are two or more vehicles going. Saturday morning might actually work best for that particular expedition; less timecrunched for people. Just sayin'...

This was kinda my thinking/concern. If it's doable on Saturday that might be the day to go.
