Bev has shut down her computer and I'm about to do the same. Ginger is reclaiming the space we've been occupying for herself, and possibly to give her books space to multiply. I'm sure each day that there are more books than there were the day before. All buffistas should bow down in envy to the walls of books available for perusal. In fact, I am absconding with one of them, but with the owner's permission so that is alright. It's time to get back on the road to NC and say good-bye to Atlanta, which has shown us a mah-ve-lus time and hosted so many lovely, erudite and welcoming friends to enjoy it with. F2Fes should never end, they should just move from place to place as the people go.
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.
Thank you for the sweet words. Some days I feel older than others.
Ginger's books were indeed impressive. As I was sitting comfy at the dining room table DH called me excited to "come look" at something. His excitement was Ginger's bookcases. Mmmmmm books.
Ginger's books . . .
swoon
And her butcher block!
But the books were amazing. Ginger has an amazingly lovely house. Her backyard is also wonderful with chipmunks chasing each other and birds flying around.
Before Ginger's, I don't think I had been in a home that had so many interesting things to look at. Just lovely.
Ginger has so many nice things, she's acquired Actual Museum Cases for them!
What I admired about the walls of books was not just their number, but the fact that so many of them were ones that showcased a deep understanding of the genres -- there was a lot of good solid Taste on display.
After looking at all the pictures I have come to the conclusion that I wore the most unfortunate outfit choice in all of F2F history.
And I'm talking about the purple thing.

I am Spartacus!
All of those with the courage to wear the purple thing are braver souls than I. And let it be known that it was Kate's personal sacrifice that resulted in our being treated to Bicyclops in the garment. There was no way I was going to prance about in it, even in front of my loved ones. Who knew I was so vain and/or shy?
eta a smooch for Trudy
I have made it home from the F2F and my subsequent business trip to Savannah.
The F2F was a lot more fun, the people were better looking and better dressed. Even taking the purple thing into account.
