Crashing back to reality ....
smonster, I'll be around. I usually avoid the Mall that weekend because of the masses of people, but I'd be willing to brave it with Buffistas. And sunblock ... lots and lots of sunblock.
Well, we may not have parted on the best of terms. I realize certain words were exchanged. Also, certain... bullets. But that's air through the engine. It's past. We're business people.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: Madison, WI from June 20-22 2008! Official website.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
And sunblock ... lots and lots of sunblock.
And a hat, and tons of water... amyth and I usually spend the 4th at a local festival, but at least at the Eno there are trees and a river for wading and a mist tent.
Good to see some folks will be around! I'm not looking forward to the driving that weekend, let me tell you.
We can do a Buffista thing separate from the festival, too. Maybe something on Saturday. It's wide open right now.

I'm prepared to help smonster and flea and others pimp NC, including our surplus of awesome NCistas. Also, a surplus of drinking establishments, live music, Tevas & Chacos (just ask sa!), and cheap & tasty eats. Y'all are almost guaranteed to see darth just by wandering through Carrboro. It's a fact! Definite lack of public transportation and Fernet, though, unfortunately.
I would love it if it were here mainly because it would almost guarantee that darth and calli and amych and flea would be able to attend. But I would be a happy, happy Buffista if the F2F were in Northampton, or in Brooklyn (NO SLEEP TILL BROOKLYN!)
EAST COAST!!!!!!!!!
I didn't mean to dis amyth, honestly!
Oh, honey, no. I feel no dis! MWAH!
Can't wait for the 4th in DC. Sunblock, Corb, DC-istas...LEGENDARY.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Definite lack of public transportation and Fernet, though, unfortunately.
Ooh, ooh, I can think of a way to fix the second one!
(And I'd also like to second what ND said about LA -- the thing about places with little or no public transportation is that the locals tend to have cars.)

Our wings are not tired
And a few folks rented cars as well. I just figure I'll rent a midsized car if it's a place like NC and then I can help haul people as well.

Fernet isn't much of a loss.
You have Zipcars, right? Any number of 'ffistas are members.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Three different conversations rolling along and existing in the same space without fuss....I love this board (even if I'm not here as much anymore).
Aimee and Kristin, do we want to put together a tentative plan for Sunday and/or Monday? I will have the rental car, so I'm more flexible than before.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Sunday evening is open for us, Monday we have an appointment at 7:30. I volunteer Kristin's house for a cookout!
Or, ya know...not.
Hee!

Well, that's true, re: cars. We're good carpoolers here.

We do. There are currently only...four or five, but we have them. I ::heart:: Zipcar.
