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?
This isn't a come-on. I'm in a very serious relationship with a landscape architect.

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!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
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.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
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.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Saturday's good for me.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
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??

Cool! Are we still planning on brunch at 10:30, or do we want to go earlier to avoid softball conflicts?

So, do I need to remind you both of the style of dress I always look for and my measurements, or have they been permanently wedged in your brain now?

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
David, I'm going to casually get it started around eleven or half-past Sunday morning, and it's likely to go well into the evening. I even now have an outdoor fireplace, for after-dark warming on the deck.
Trudy, I don't think this one's really pre-planned, so much as it is pre-optioned. There seems to be a lot of stuff to do, and my feeling is that that gives a "scheduled" feel to things. But honestly, anything that doesn't involve an opening/closing time and prebought tickets is probably loose.
It may be due to the large attendance and large concetration of locals. Is this the largest crowd we've had?
