What happened Steph?
Poor planning, stupid finances, lack of time, and zero desire to drive 5 hours there and 5 hours back by myself.
Mal: Well, you were right about this being a bad idea. Zoe: Thanks for sayin', sir.
'Serenity'
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!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
That is grumble worthy. I keep reading all the plans for the NO trip and I get a little depressed because I'm almost 100% sure I can't go. I have to save my money for my brother's wedding a month later (I'm a bridesmaid so I have to buy the dress and I'm getting my hair done the day of, not to mention hotel costs either).

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Well, you fucking suck.

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?
Hec, I'm planning on being at Quimby's on Sat. Can't wait!
Also, Orange line el to the loop is verra easy and cheap. Also Blue line from loop to Quimby's is also easy and cheap. Do you know which hotel you're staying at yet? Do you need recommendations?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Do you need recommendations?
Yes, please. erinaceous has suggested I Priceline for deals, which will obviously be a factor. But any suggestions would be lovely.

Hec, it looks like a bunch of hotels are sold out. Some sort of convention or something. Here's some that I did find:
Best Western, Lakeview: $89/night. On the north side. A pain to get to from Midway (orange line to red line) but other than that, a good location. A short cab ride or bus to Quimby's. And, it used to be a transient hotel! All fixed up now of course.
Days Inn Lincoln Park: $90-130/night. Another on the north side, so a pain from Midway. Good location otherwise and easy to get to Quimby's.
Days Inn Gold Coast: $100-125. Another good location on the north side.
House of Two Urns: $120/night. Don't know anything about this one, but it looks cute and is within walking distance to Quimby's.
These are the cheapest ones I've found. Let me know if you need any more suggestions. I'd be glad to look some more.

Compassionately intolerant
Ooooh. Aaaaah. t waves at pretty beasties in San Diego...and the animals too!
When I lived in SD, I had a pass to the Wild Animal Park that gave me great joy. Walking the Kilimarjaro trail in the rain and coming up on a female Bengal Tiger snoozing against the fence (chain link, so I could have touched her fur) was pretty breathtaking.
The best part? The people in cages (the tram) rather than the critters.
