If we have enough people I still prefer porm at the hotel if possible. The short trip back to the room is good both for the end of the evening and for quick escapes during the event.

If it doesn't end up making financial sense all of the above choices seem good.

I wish I could come. But this year any extra pennies we have are earmarked for getting the hell out of Central New York and moving back to PA.

porm

Best. Typo. EVER.

But this [link], a few blocks further, looks kind of made for us.

Good Lord! Did they know about us when they set up that venue?

Is anyone looking for roommates this time around? I'm aiming to cut hotel costs if possible.

For early arrivers, this is going on at the bar I used to work at down the street:

Guh. Wibble. Thunk.

I wish I could go too, but my pennies are earmarked for a car and it is the same weekend as costume strike. I was so hoping to go this year, too! I say we have a Central NY F2F next year ;)! We could go to Leroy, where Jello was invented!

Bwah! Or Onondaga Lake, the most polluted lake in the country! And hey, they have Tim Horton's in Rochester, and one coming to DeWitt!

Guh. Wibble. Thunk.

so, I'll see you there?

Not big F2F, but I plan to be in California April 14-29 in celebration of my 40th (gasp) birthday. My current plans are to head straight from the airport in San Jose to visit family in Morro Bay (central coast). Anyone who would like to visit that lovely, quiet, beautiful town on the ocean would be more than welcome. Or, if some folks from further south don't want to drive quite that far, I might be able to meet somewhere.

Somewhere around April 25th, I plan to head North to the Bay Area, where I'll be staying with the lovely and very generous Java Cat, who has also offered to host a get-together at her place that Saturday, April 28th (welcome!!). Between my arrival and the party, I'm hoping to do fun things with localistas and also visit a few other friends.

I'm really looking forward to seeing those Bay Areaistas that I've met and to meeting others. Other than the arrival and departure dates, I'm still flexible, so please contact me with details, suggestions, or whatever. I know I have nearly a month to go, but I'm so excited!!!

Oh! So jealous! I lived in Morro Bay, San Luis Obispo and Los Osos when I was younger. I miss that area so very much. Fingers crossed that you'll take pictures and share them with us.

And fingers crossed that you have a great time!
