Since billytea seems to have been here, I thought I'd mention that the National Zoo has golden lion tamarins which they let loose in the summertime. They wear radio collars in case they decide to wander, but you'll see them in the trees.

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.
They have an insane number of the things. My family saw them in the Small Mammal House a couple weeks ago, and it's like they failed to correctly identify the gender of one of the males and ended up with way more than they had planned.
Or it could have just been us discovering that the pets we have that this happened to us with are, apparently, zoo animals, as there were some in the zoo.
I read that as "golden lion theremins". I blame Jon B.
I read that as tannerin. I blame me, too.

Aww. So many friends! Steph, I'm always happy to spend time with the Australian animals. Though I note that echidnas aren't on the list. What's up with that?

They heard you had an echidna skull in your possession, and they got a little nervous and asked Teppy to please not mention them to you anymore, in case you get Ideas.
HEY! We're friends of billytea! We just don't have room to put you up!
I'm sad we've never met, bt. Someday, I hope. Though I fear for the snark allotment of the world when we do.
Billytea, you are welcome to stay with me for the SF nights, though I suspect somewhere in/closer to the city might be more convenient.
Oops. I missed replying to this before! Yeah, Hec's place will probably work better, but I'm looking forward to seeing you too. Honorary Fob!

Indeed. It must be understood that the friends of billytea is not a set that is exhaustively covered by the Friends of billytea appellation. I would like to assure all the fob who are not Fob that I won't forget all the lowercase people in my rise to the top.

Hee. 'Tis true. I would've liked to have fit Phoenix into this trip.
The Princess has requested a real, live koala bear as a gift.
And also a eucalyptus tree.
