Oh, it's in San Jose. And I'm in Belmont. Which is halfway between SF and SJ anyway. Well then. Hm. It does sound very cool.
I have no idea what I'm doing. And May 20 seems to be my cousin's birthday, so I may be less free than I thought.
I'll be in my bunk.

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!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Winchester House is visible from the street, but the full effect, inside, is very unsettling.
BTW, many of you will have received a fundraising email. It'sd to make the trip possible for two more people.
If you haven't got the email and would like to be exhorted to help in beautifully impassioned prose, speak up.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Deb, I'll check with Theodosia about the ride.

Our wings are not tired.
I say, blithely volunteering the time and patience of Laura and whoever else is in the rental car....
My time and patience is always available for Sean and S. What ND said about coordinating the Winchester trip Friday night. (after we get back from Alcatraz) We can figure out what size vehicle we need then. I shouldn't think we would need to reserve a car in advance. But that can happen too.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
F2F Fundage Update!!
At present, we are at $2825. That does not include a check from Lee that I am expecting, nor any other checks that may have been sent.
You are all rockstars.
Question - has the previous party protocol has been to roll the excess money back into the Buffista fund? We did not have a travel fund this year - did we in previous years?

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Add MM to the Winchester House adventure-list. He'll be joining you all while Em and I go to Chinatown.

Juliana, last year we put the excess toward people who needed travel assistance.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Reason why I love working with the HICC, part 3,456: I just the official banquet/catering request form to look over, sign and fill out.
It includes all the booze brands that were asked for, including a column headed "Foofy Drinks".
Off to store. My week just got exponentially busier, since I'm now a volunteer at HWA so that I can attend my own signing, and get to meet Peter Straub, of whom I am a humongous fan.

I know there was a fund of sorts in past years. Does the amount collected cover stocking the HS? Also, we rock!
Yay for MM joining the Winchester House group.
I can't wait to see everyone. And I better get back to work so they will let me go!
