This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

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!

And what's our rough goal?

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

juliana, thing about that is, the numbers should always be for a percentage higher on catering than the hard number. It's always better to have a bit too much nosh than to run out of it.

So sixty is where I'm looking at the moment.

How are we for fundage at the moment? Counting my $130 or whatever it was? (edit: beat me to it.)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

So we've got the Prom covered, and just need to pay for the suite? Nice!

It might be worth posting a $$ update in Press, just as a reminder to people who were putting donating off and don't realize how close we are.

(Like, I just this weekend started looking at 10k training programs. All of which are at least 10 weeks long. Oops...at least I can walk it!)

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

And what's our rough goal?

$2500, plus whatever taxes the hotel and SF slaps on the bill.

(That total includes the last night of the hospitality suite, because my fundage update includes the $$$ Drew sent to cover said night.)

so, about $900 down from making the ends meet?

I'll probably be sending in some more as well, juliana - hoping at least one of my tax returns gets here before then, because that would make life sooooo much easier.

About. Deb, how much do you think tax will be?

Not sure, juliana, but I'll find that out from Lilibeth and Eva this week.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I really can't believe that this bunch ignored the chocolate corset.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Okay, here is the web site for the Monterey Bay Aquarium. We have planned on going on Monday.

Pros for going: It's really really really cool. Really.

Cons for going: 1) It is about 125 miles south of San Francisco. Google maps puts the drive from the hotel to the Aquarium at about 2 hours and 10 minutes, so it really is an all day trip, and we will probably hit some rush hour traffic at least on the way there.

2) Getting there might well require renting a car, depending on how many people want to go and how many locals with cars go.

Could any one, locals included, who thinks they want to go, please email me with the following information:
Where you are starting from
Where you want to end up, especially if this is an airport
if you have a flight on Monday, what time is it, and what airport
If you are a local, if you can drive and how many you can fit in your car.
If you would be willing to drive a rental car

Thanks!
