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!

Monday is sorta unplanned at this point. Certainly seems doable.

I'd love to see the de Young. The Milwaukee Art Museum has a lovely collection of FLW and others from the Arts and Crafts period. We also have Spring Green with his school and main home. It tends to make Wisconsinites a bit into Wright enthusiasts. I took Larry to Spring Green when he was out to visit and he didn't even know who FLW was! I was amazed, but then, see previous sentence.

The Ravensbrew is in elite company, since I feel that way about Jamaican Blue Mountain and Kona, as well.

I’m with you, at least on the Kona. I think of it as “afternoon coffee”. I’m willing to pick up a grinder at target or Costco or whatever.

Piping up after two days of being dark dark dark -

I definitely want to go thrifting and I'd like to tag along with Jilli, hoping that some of her thrift-fu will work on my behalf.

Definitely want to go to the DeYoung - and the lecture sounds good (plus, AmyParker!).

Trying to fight my way through the work that's been piling up so I can actually take time to PACK (since I always overpack, this is no small feat).

(bounce, bounce it's a week away!)

How much do I love that the email address for the Alcatraz evening trip is telesails@blueandgoldfleet.com ? Is that cute or what?!!

(In case you're wondering, that's a yes to the Friday evening excursion.)

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

I have a coffee grinder I can bring, Vortex, so no need to buy one.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

I’m willing to pick up a grinder at target or Costco or whatever.

Oh, I have a grinder - no problem. My thinking is, Pete can bring the Ravensbrew for the lighter and smoother coffee, I'll bring a shitload of Sumatra for the scary dark robust yet relatively low-acidic stuff plus a grinder, and - OH! I am a fucking IDIOT.

Duh, Deb, add catering 40-cup coffee-maker to Hospitality Suite list.

Retired caterer. HAVE the damned thing already. Brain draining....

It IS!

REALLY?! FOR ME?! Awwwwwww...

I wish. See, I backed off, 'cause both Kafie and I were flirting with him. It wasn't worth fighting with Kafie over. So, I let him go. *sniff*

Kafie has been sent away.

To a farm. Where she can run free.

Oh, so that's what happens to the math teachers? Maybe I won't tell that to Emily.
