Bring a couple of sleeveless and a couple of sleeves, and toss a warm jacket in the car. You've been living in the southland - you could get chilly.

I've found that armwarmers are Teh Bomb Diggity here.

This may mitigate against the quite partisan enjoyment of your local sports team.

IJS. My lack of sports interest is a character flaw, I freely admit it. But I make up for it in other ways.

Yeah! Pesky liberal fencepost-sitting wishy-washy...oh. No. That's me. Mr Pot? How do you do. My name is Mr Kettle.

However, I think Hec's sold it to me. Cool. 'kay. I won't have much of a clue what's going on, but fun will be had. Sounds good to me.

(So long as I don't have to go anywhere near any frankfurters. Seriously. I'll send out a message to my peeps and homies and sing God Bless America and consider getting a Buffy-related tattoo and all that USA-loving jazz, but hotdogs are my line in the sand.)

I just find most sports in.ter.min.a.ble. I'm missing a vital gene or something. I can't figure out why I should care who wins.

I am Beverly.

I'm sure conversing with Buffistas can make almost anything fun, but I prefer my fun to be with better food and no drunken loudmouths shouting epithets in the background.

Apparently, I am Matt, as well.

I'm all about BBQ Chez Grabien.

Yes, in my version of Hell baseball is the only sport. And Yoko Ono always sings the national anthem...

My brother! Except my sport in Hell is basketball. And I'm chained to seat right behind the visiting team's bench, being forced to watch eleven foot tall people in baggy knickers, running back and forth and saying nasty things to each other, forever.

With (bleah) cheerleaders. Because Satan wants to make me his personal little pet.

What is it with you Californians and armwarmers? What the hell IS an armwarmer?

Layers, check. I usually have at least 2 jackets on me, but packing for Em is a challenge in it's self. Also trying to get all of packed in one bag.

Also, anyone have a spare porta-crib or Pack n Play? We'll have one in the hotel, I was thinking about the BBQ and putting Em down for her naps. She's too mobile in her sleep to sleep on a big bed. Deb, could we possibly borrow your bedroom for Emeline nappage?

Um - Californian sitting right here - and I don't know what armwarmers are, either. I'm fairly sure I've never worn them, in any event.

Are they like legwarmers, but for arms? That you'd wear with otherwise sleeveless tops?

Because my shoulders would freeze - they get cold faster than damned near any other portion of anatomy. I'm all about layers.

I've worn them during the last two Hallowe'en F2Fs - these. I normally wear them with baby tees.

The only people I've ever heard mention them have been ita and Juliana, and Juliana only since she moved to SF. Hence, armwarmers = A California Thing.

eta: Oh, THOSE! I've been thinking of those as fingerless gloves. I love those! I've been picturing an armwarmer as something like this, but on the arm.
