I hope that you can channel the nice nervous, and not waste a minute of F2F fun on the icky nervous.
I will!
And yay for angels! So glad you're coming, katefate!
See, Vera? Dress yourself up; you get taken out somewhere fun.

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.
Sister groups that sing folk-type songs?
Oddly, no - more because I just pinged on their song about going away to Ireland. Lordy, it's been decades...

Katefate, that is so cool! I'm so glad you could make this F2F as it's my first one and the more Buffistas I get to meet in person the happier I'ma gonna be. Whoohoo!

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
FanTAStic!
Katefate, that is a beautiful, beautiful thing!

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Hate to throw yet another temptation on the fire, but I went to the Lacis Museum with folks from the Greater Bay Area Costumers Guild and I'd imagine at least some Buffistas would want to hit it while in town. Wonderful exhibit with really jaw-droppingly well-preserved costumes. And then there's Lacis itself which is so chock full of textile and craft porn that even though I live in walking distance of it, I have to keep away until I'm possessed of a full wallet. [link]

Frail my heart apart and play me a little Shady Grove
Mmmm, lace.
Oh, that's lovely. I have the big grin now.
Oh Deena, I remember how everyone was plotting to get you to DC in '04. I get to meet you now!
kate, btw, if the Shady Grove in your tag refers to what I think it does, we can have a couple of very interesting conversations.
Ginger explained, deb, but you've piqued my curiosity. I hope we can find time to compare Shady Groves.
Ginger, Seekrit McGarrigle Message: That very song is included in my soon-to-be-posted buffista music mix!
It's the first slow dance I had where my dance partner was scoping out the same women I was and we were commenting on the ultimate hotness all around us.
Isn't that fun? Hec, you were/are very much a part of the hotness factor. I hope you heard the regret as well as the snark.
Looking forward to seeing everyone, especially Brenda, my most excellent DC roomie!
SailAweigh, yay for first F2F!
Shy and/or apprehensive virgins, many of us have been through the same thing. As the F2F approaches, the nervous-to-excited quotient embiggens some. The same will be happening to me, and to others, I am certain. Strangely enough, it all turns out well. It's a mystery.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
And now I'm ear/brainwormed with the Young Frankenstein version/scene of "Sweet mystery of life".
My brain, she is odd at times.

Lacis looks lovely.
Hee Perkins. I've had worse earworms.
This looks like it will be the biggest F2F yet. This pings many of us with the shy and apprehensive feelings. And yet each F2F I have attended I was completely comfortable. In many ways we know each other better than we do our IRL friends. I just can't wait to have new voices to match with the screen names. That is the best part for me. When I read posts from those of you I have had the joy of meeting I add the voices and body movements to the posts.
