Can we get a roll call, or anyhow some kind of bullshit consensus, on the thrifting/corsetry expedition? Who's definitely interested, who's got a preference for Valencia or Haight (brief breakdown here; I know that Jeeves is leaning anti-Haight, but no idea of anyone else's preference), what time people want to get started?
I like the sound of both, but given a choice I say “Go pirates! Choose pirates!” Obviously. But I’m easy.
Needing plus sized clothes, I'm not sure how much success I'd actually have in the thrift stores
Yes. That. This is also my concern wrt corsets. Although, OMG, want.
I, of course, want to go to Valencia b/c of the pirate store, the hat store, Borderlands books, and and and ...
Ah. Yes. As Jilli goes, so goes my nation.
I'm so conflicted about the Dark Garden trip. Of course I want to go and look, because I love my DG corset. I just know I won't be able to afford to get another corset from them right now.
What kind of money are we talking here?
Also, I want to be sure to be available for the vid show Saturday afternoon, because I've known Laura Shapiro for, uh, at least 6 years and still haven't met her.
Crap. Absoposolutely want to be back for the vids.
I think a rough outline of Saturday looks like: morning cartoons and readings, early afternoon thrifting/wandering/exploring, later afternoon vidding and/or Once More With Feeling singalong/show watching/vegging in the HS. Early evening people break off into smaller groups for dinner, then return to primp for Prom.
This! I want this to be my day!
has it already been discussed to maybe get something for Lilibeth in way of a thank you gift for being the rockingest thing that etc etc etc?
Good idea.
Babydoll t and the mug would be perfect.
Word.
Sunday there's the A's game for those who are going. That will take up most of the afternoon.
…oh, crap. See, I like the idea of doing the game in order to (a) hang with cool Buffistas and (b) see Americans in their natural habitat, being very American. But I do flinch a bit at the thought of losing the whole afternoon to watching baseball. Because my actual interest in baseball (or any other sport) is…well, pretty much less than zero. Gah. Still conflicted, as it turns out.
All your amyparker is BELONGING TO MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Wooohoooo!!!!!!!!! OMG, that's fanTAStic! Way to go!
Aimee is bringing Eddie Izzard??????
See, with this crowd it wouldn't surprise me. And of course he'd fit right in. Plus, he'd swell the ranks of British Buffistafolk. And he'd totally have the ensembles for the Prom. Probably a corset.
