Theo, I just left you a voice message! I'm home, wasting away for want of Buffista face time. ::cries:: So close and, yet, so far!

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Do we have anybody in Sacramento? I've got a couple half-day layovers there on my trip next week.

Nutty, Consuela and I had dinner with Sail last night (Turkish, in fact) and a nice time chatting in the bar afterwards! Betsy couldn't join us, alas!

It was absolutely lovely! It woke me up to the fact that there's a very cool sci-fi convention right here in town that I never even knew about and provided many fascinating topics of conversation. I dined until stuffed on spicy, spicy Buffista brains.

Hey, Midwestistas! I will be in your fair area from July 15-30. I would love to see each of you. So, let's make some plans.
I'll be staying in the Rockford area (doing research for my senior thesis) for a chunk of the trip (till the 27th), but can make trips into the city for parts of the days. I'm flexible. But, will also be in the 'burbs from the 27th on. So, we can do something after that as well. I know it's early, but I thought we could start trying to coordinate our schedules.

Yay!!
I'm in the NW 'burbs, so you're probably closest to me (after sumi, who's right down the road from where you'll be). Maybe we can get a small get-together with the three of us (and anyone else who'd like to schlep out to DeKalb or Rockford) on one of the days you can't get into the city?

dcistas! as maria pointed out, Suzi leaves on Saturday, so we'd have to do old people dinner at 4ish (if we pick Saturday, which may affect some people's availability)

Ann, that's a ferret.
Saturday is not good for us, but since we're practically walking distance, maybe we can arrange something separate.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
My schedule is very up in the air right now, so I can't make definite plans for July yet, but I'd love for us to get together while vw is here.

I meant to post this once I had figured it out. Here's the mileage I put up this year when I went to the F2F (I visited a lot of friends along the way, so it wasn't my ONLY desination, just the final one):
Trip down: 1170 miles
Trip back: 1445 miles (different route and a detour from Baltimore to middle PA)
Grand total: 2615 miles
