I wanna wait for Nilly. I can't seem to find my own name in this thread.

(I may have a little ick too, though I don't think that excuses the whining.)

I had so much fun. I promise to post as much as I remember as soon as my brain has had a chance to unscramble a bit.

I think the biggest thing for me, though, was how incredibly happy everyone seemed, and how really beautiful everyone was in person--soo much better than in pictures. It was a spectacular party.

Nicole! NOW you are sick? Geeeesh. Suckage.

My throat felt a little sore the last few days but mostly just when I woke up. This morning? Golf balls. I'm just glad I decided to take a day off between vacation and going back to work.

Could everyone who posted links to pictures add the word "cephelopod" to the post where they did it, for easy searchability?

I did! I did!

From the quotes in COMM:

Beth B: Who else is my husband kissing?

Beth's DH was kissing people other than Beth? No fair! I totally would've kissed Matt!

Did the chair move for you?

I think I possibly said this. Or maybe I just wrote it on the board. I can't remember precisely when or why, though. Perhaps it was either during the vid watching on Saturday afternoon or when P-C was suddenly shirtless on Friday evening.

Pete, I'm fairly sure this was Kristin, not ND. (Can someone else confirm or deny?)

Yep, it was indeed me. Make it me, Pete!

The chair moving was when we tried to pile too many of us onto one of the comfy chairs. I was on the bottom of the pile and I recall someone falling off, making the chair move. But I don't recall who uttered the COMW'ed phrase.

No, ass-grabbing here is just a "Hi, how are you?"

That might have been me. I'm not sure. It's a little scary how much of this weekend just blurred together, even the parts where I wasn't drunk. It was one big whirl of gorgeous, fun people.

Have now read all posts and am working on a meara.

It was probbably you smonster. I know it was in a conversation with you and julianna and... and there was talk of ass graabbing being unwanted - which led to someone apologizing for ass grabbing, and then the line about it being sort of 'hi how are you ' for the buffistas.

And reading Pete's whiteboard?

Still invisible (and inaudibly unfunny), except for a couple of fast, harried poses the first day or so in the hospitality suite.

Ah well. Same time, next year....

Second request: who took the picture of Lilibeth, in tiara? I'm about to sign off and get some work done and I promised Lilibeth I'd find and link or send it and I really really really do NOT want to have to wade back through all the photo collections. Anyone?

Also, did Scola get out and away last night, or was it this morning?

who took the picture of Lilibeth, in tiara

I tried to find it, but I have to head to the dentist. It was in an early link, and it was darkish- that's what I remember. It is someone whoe is talking much on the baord laura? maybe.

Deb, I checked out this morning. I'm waiting for Amtrak, which is delayed a few hours, but I'm all set.

It's hard to type long messages on my phone, so I'll give a too brief thanks to Deb, juliana and Perkins for helping me out, and a thank you to Hec, JZ and SA for helping me to cope emotionally.

And thanks to everyone else, too. You're all fantastic!

Next up: more F2Fage for me in LA!!!

All your Scola are belong to us!
