I hope you don't think that I just come over for the spells and everything. I mean, I really like just talking and hanging out with you and stuff.

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.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Good morning to all. I'm about to clean the hell out of my house, get Fay's futon with foam topper set up, scream at cats, take shower, and have some coffee ready for Vortex when she gets here with the car. Then it's Fay at not quite noon, Vortex to the nifty hair salon, and me back to the airport to get Laura and have the coversation about maybe bringing stuff to the HS tonight instead of tomorrow.
Memo to self for this evening: make tipsy fruit salad. Remember pain meds. Take Avonex out of fridge.
For tomorrow: Three airport runs, shaking out as follows:
Everyone's on United, both days, which makes things easier (all terminal 3 except Fay's which is international). Plan at the moment is to grab Parker at not quite 10 am, bring her back her to Jeannie's to dump off her luggage and, if she wants, to take her to the hospitality suite to hang out with Beth and whoever else is there. Off to airport with empty car: a cluster of three arrivals within 15 minutes, all on United: Matt the Bruins Fan, DX, and Anne. I'll wear my Buffistas tee (although I'm fairly recognisable) and meet everyone down by baggage claim.
Back to hotel for VERY fast dropoff, then back to airport to get Pete and Jilli, who arrive one-ish. Venters, ideally, what I'd like is a curbside pickup, so as to not have to hand them another seven or so dollars for parking - is that okay? I'll have my cell with me.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Deb, I'll pick up a loaf from the local bakery to hand off tonight.

Woohoo! Glad to hear everything is progressing well now. This morning I set aside some important clothing to pack, so my journey has in a sense begun!

Yes, we'll be curbside. What color & make is your car?

Not to mess you up, Deb, but I could make one of those airport runs if you like. If it's easier to stick to your plan as is that's fine, but if you'd like a break I could do one.
I'll probably be hanging around the HS on Thursday afternoon too.

Hec, the Jeeveses pickup would be superb. And unlike me, you can tell Pete what colour and make the car is; I'll be driving Vortex's rental, and I haven't seen it yet.
Back to work.

Score!
Jeevses, to the email cave to trade cell numbers and your flight info!
::note to self - clean out trunk to make room for Jilli's luggage. Maybe need trailer rental?::

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Pete, the car is a recent model taupe-ish Chrysler Sebring. Pretty much the most generic car you can imagine.
Also, I don't have your email, so you should ping me at my profile addy.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Epic, if you're reading, it occurred to me that my DH and I can bring clothes to you for the trip to Jail -- we'll be meeting everyone at the boat and you won't have to carry it around all day.
This is also a good plan.
Started trying to pack last night in my medium suitcase. Once my box o'tiaras, a few books for deb to autograph, and my Prom stuff were in, it was 3/4 full. I'll have to re-purpose into my big suitcase tonight.
Sparky, when you see said suitcase, I promise I'm not trying to move in permanently. Honest.
