Deb, what's the actual cup count on the 40 cup coffee maker? I ask this because a lot of home versons that proclaim 10 cup are really just 5 or 6 cups.

Would it be wise to have the hotel provide one too, so that the Sumatra & the Ravensbrew are going at the same time? Possibly better to have too much coffee ready than too little.

heh. that's because we drink REAL cups of coffee, not some piddly china teacup.

Pete, good call. I'll tell Lilibeth. And this is actually a professional maker; when it says cup, it's really talking approximately 6 ounces, not 8. So in actuality about 28 cups at a time.

8 oz. cups? Pikers. Nothing less than a 10 oz. cup in my house. Maybe even 12 or 14 oz.

makes note to bring mainline equipment for Sail

Code brown, code brown! She's going down! Bring the pot, hold it, hold it, release the nozzle now!

Whew, close call but half the 40 cup pot did the trick this time. I'm writing a prescription for a 16 oz. cup this time.

Does Buffista Island have a flag? Cause Aimee's gonna need it to catch an Izzard. Too bad, Fay, that if EI did show up, baseball and prom aren't the other way around. Because the Izzard bit about "Charge". Funny. I'd love to watch you both riff on that.

He's not Prussian; he eats his chili over spaghetti!

Hee. I totally am contextless-tagging this, Steph.

OK, things I will definitely be bringing as food for the HS on Thursday:

t swoons at list

I am a maybe on thrifting, no preference. (still torn between thrifting and spooking)

juliana, paypal insent.

Of course cell phones are an option, but why let technology get in the way of the impulse to micromanage??

Nutty, this made me laugh out loud.

Don't you mean VAGINA BOJANGLE?

DearPADDYWHACKwhat? If not before, I require the story at the f2f.

I'm bouncing at all the last minute additions to the f2f. Yay for cass and amyparker and whoever else I've omitted in fatigue and hurry!

Argh, I'm so behind. Well, here's a meara:

Re: the vid show, I should talk to Laura, but I was thinking maybe 4 pm? 4-5:30/6 pm? That should give people time to do the dinner thing or get ready for the Prom.

Deb, can you add me to your mailing list distribution? My new e is on gmail: cofax7 . I think you should still have my cell #, I know I have you in my cell from way back.

I'm not doing the Alcatraz thing (once was enough, and a night-time tour would give me the screaming heebies), but I'd be interested in the De Young thing at some point. Although going thrifting with Jilli and JZ has its own charms... *g*

Oh, and Dim Sum! Yank Sing is very very good--it's also pretty expensive. There is dim sum that's just as good and way cheaper to be had, in Chinatown. I bet Juliana could get us good recommendations... Or I can poke about online.
