Upon reflection (and checking the World Cup schedule), the 6th would work much better for a DC visit!
F2F 4: Too Much Candy, Never Enough Mojitos.
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.
I'm available after work on both the 5th and the 6th.
Juliana, what time do you get into NY on the 7th?
Tom, no idea. I haven't even figured out how I'm getting to DC from JFK and back yet.
So, um, what's the cheapest way to do that?
Bus? I don't know anything about them except NYCers have used them to visit me (stepping off early in B'more.)
I don't know that I'll be able to get down to DC those days. Crappity.
I think Trudy's taken the Chinatown bus a time or two.
Chinatown Bus is good, I've always googled to find them.
Greyhound has a special that is on the first page of the website but doesn't pop up when you check schedules and fares.
juliana, I've heard good things about Apex Bus (although they're all about the same), and it's cheap. $30 or $35 r/t if you reserve in advance.
Emily, we get back on the 4th, otherwise I'd offer our guest room.
Once you have an idea for a group gathering, I'd like to try to join in. I'm not sure what K-Bug's practice schedule will be that week.
Kristin: Cass, I would still like to take a brief jaunt to Portland sometime soon(ish)--maybe a solo two-day trip or something. Would I be able to crash with you so you could show me your fair city then? No definite plans yet--just something I was pondering.
Cass: Absolutely.Should I be wondering at the lack of a comment or reply here, Kristin?Mi casa es .... well, still mi casa but you are quite invited to come stay for a couple of days.[edit: Eh, I hate when "tone" doesn't carry across right. What I meant to say, it would be lovely to have you here for a couple of days and I am even getting to be a decent tour guide.] Are you having any ideas of when soon-ish might be?
