Awake (mostly) and struggling against the Ick, which seems to be lessening. Am also claiming the title of Happiest and Luckiest Buffista Evah, because on my first F2F I got to:
- stay at Deb's house and snatch moments of chatting quietly with her, PLUS eat her fabulous cooking and meet her many cats
- room with Fay (!) AND Amy Parker (!)
- eat yummy Angelino's food in Sausalito with many foamy Buffistas, including erika
- observe the Crazy Assness of Winchester House with ND, Kristin, Raq, Theodosia, Epic, Miracleman, Laura, and Matt the Bruins Fan
- have Scola tease me and take my picture
- dance with many, many foamy Buffistas at prom
- witness smonster's fabulous bellydance and Jilli's swooping
- kiss Teppy and juliana
- meet the fabulous Aimee and the wonderful amyth, who agree that the Amys should clearly take over
- hug Bev and Deena and Lee and Nora and many others
- witness bouncing and squeeage at the Arts and Crafts Exhibit, thanks to beth's DH Matt and Amy Parker
- participate in a West Coast gropemobile while on Sail's lap
- ride back to the hotel in a second gropemobile, with Amy Parker as our seatbelt
- have Hec cut my hair a la smonster, while sitting on the sun on the Zmayhem's deck
- wander the Haight with Ginger, Sail, Jessica, amyth, smonster, Kate P. (who gets my vote for best laugh), and Hec
- eat yummy pasta at Deb's with most of same, plus Toddson
I'm positive I'm forgetting things, but my only real regrets are not getting more Deena and JZ time.
Deb gets huge thanks for all the setup and point person work -- the prom was fabulous and the hospitality suite was beautifully stocked, and the BBQ food was bountiful and delicious. All the locals who offered beds and rides and hospitality, of course, rock.
Off to look at all the pictures and glow.
