Fred ,'Just Rewards (2)'
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!
For those who have not done an F2F before Do Not Stress about the breaking off into smaller dinner parties element on Saturday. Nobody ever gets left behind. Some folks plan ahead for that meal, others just wing it.
We traditionally have a lot of that in general -- people showing up in the Hospitality suite and finding some friends and doing something. For better or for worse, this seems to be the most 'pre-planed' F2F yet. It will be interesting to see how it plays out.
In DC I think I was in the HS until the sun came up on Saturday morning.
Seriously, you might feel right now that you'll be left behind for something (we all raptured), but the reality is you'll probably have multiple groups begging you to come to dinner/activity x, so the people in that group can hog all your time from everybody else.
And the magical cork or white board is your friend. People put up notes and you just paruse it until you find something to do.
Like learn how to spell 'paruse' Paroos? Parose?
Let me add my "Me too!" to the Interested in Thrifting/May Cry if I don't get to Dark Garden and the Pirate Store crowd.
I was hoping to do the Winchester House thing, too. Is that unrealistic?
I'm having to restain myself from signing up for everything, because I do want to have some loafing-around-ooh-that-unplanned-jaunt-sounds-fun time rather than just scheduling 3 solid days in advance.
Foodwise, I am going to make a TJs/maybe costco run and come laden with goodies to supplement what Deb and Juliana are baking, so if anyone has any requests, let me know.
JZ, I think we need to do a scouting trip this weekend, just to make sure all the thrifting places are still there.

Saturday's good for me.
Peruse.
You know what helps with that? Cell phones. Which allows people to wander off in any number of configurations and then reconvene.
What, you mean I'm paranoid and I'm a luddite?
I was thinking about making everybody hold on to a knotted rope, like they have for preschoolers on walking trips around town. Of course cell phones are an option, but why let technology get in the way of the impulse to micromanage??
