Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

F2F 4: Too Much Candy, Never Enough Mojitos.

Our wings are not tired.

Yup, Ginger, another great one. I used Kayak to book my hotels in London.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Neither of the trips I previously committed to overlap this, so funds permitting, I'm going.

This will be my first F2F. Be gentle. Do I need a secret password?

Do I need a secret password?

Yes. But we call it a "safeword."

Well, this just gets better and better!

What is even happening?

Zen, I've never been, but the safeword (or unsafe -- perspective depending) seems to be, "Too much candy."

Well, I should let you know that me & Jilli won't be able to make it this year. It's not the timing, it's not the location, we're just having to penny-pinch for the foreseeable future.

I will look forward to the oodles of posts, though.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I used Yahoo Maps to find out about the driving distance today and it told me I should be able to make the trip in 6 hours. So apparently there's a massive space warp somewhere along US 78 that cuts the distance in half.

Ann, that's a ferret.

It's supposed to be only 9-10 hours' drive from DC. We may try that.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'm going to be 8 months pregnant. Y'all have fun without me though!

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

We drove to the Washington F2F.

Yahoo maps thinks it's 4 hours from Atlanta to Nashville, and I did manage that once -- at 70 mph all the way, with no traffic and no stops. Normally it takes at least 5 hours. I'd guess Memphis at more like 8, and that's if you're not trapped by the traffic black hole that is Chattanooga.

For the people driving, the hotel has a free parking lot with about 20 spaces, and after that there's street parking.
