That is excellent news. All day-job-related busyness, or rock star travels, or some combination that gives you a bit of free time for localistas? Possibly this should go in the F2F thread.
What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

I'm totally VACATIONING!!!
(Although there may be some rockstar behavior if past visits are any indication...)
I'd love to get together with peoples. I'm pretty plan free at this point except my best friend out there and I are going to try to do some "luxury camping" at some place south of Santa Cruz.

When do you get to SF? I've still got dibs on you for oysters (best for a weekday lunch treat).

I just watched from War Stories through to Objects in Space with my flatmates. One of whom said she didn't like SF, then sat down and didn't get up again. Ha! Take that, flatmate2.

I'm not sure yet. I'll probably come in from Sacramento on the train on that Monday, the 5th. Or the train to Oakland then the shuttle to SF which comes in right at the Ferry Building! I am so down with the Oysters & Champagne weekday lunch treat! I didn't even know about the joy of the oyster when I lived out there. Plus the Ferry Building was just an old warehouse or something.

All this time, I thought Hunter was a bitch. Turns out she was just hungry.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Two pieces of Serenity news.
The title bar of www.serenitymovie.com now reads:
"Serenity DVD | Serenity movie - firefly serenity movie"
No DVD or purchase links on the site yet, though.
dvdanswers.com has official artwork from the DVD: [link]

Don't much like the artwork. It's nice to be able to see the actors better, but what's with the flames (or whatever) between Mal and Zoe?
Also, I'll still buy this, but I was hoping for a price closer to $20. I had planned to buy this for presents. Now, perhaps not.
I don't want to say that marketing, etc., is bad, because I really know not of what I speak. Still, I wish it were better, because it seems like maybe they don't either.

Well, neither the Parkway nor the Red Vic could conceivably be described as palatial, but they are very cozy. The Parkway lets you order beer and a pizza and slounge on a couch (if you get there early enough) while watching your movie, and the Red Vic pops popcorn from scratch for every show and covers it with actual butter like God intended. Also, the Red Vic had couches way before the Parkway.
We have some splendid palaces, too, of course.
