It's all about choices, Faith. The ones we make, and the ones we don't. Oh, and the consequences. Those are always fun.

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!

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.

Our wings are not tired.

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!

Nope, at least not this year; food etc being supplied by the locals. I'm thinking if there's extra, it should go into the emergency travel fund.

About which, see above post in re being beautifully exhorted to contribute, to Suzi's Paypal, not mine.

Laura, that's true. We used some of the excess for assistance and the rest for odd expenses as they came up.

(And sadly, no, the MM and Empress first-night-without-baby-since-her-birth-NOLA-adult purchases did not come out of that money...promise!)

A, sent from yahoo account because my dot mac is being odd. It gets mail but for some reason wants to use a different server to send it. @@

smonster and amyth, I should be getting off of work at 2 on Friday, so you can come straight to North Beach if you like.

Also, for general reference - I'll have to work Monday morning, but I'm taking the afternoon off for wandering and tattooing and whatnot.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Use the extra for a tattoo to be given away by drawing of lots?
