Thanks Laga. I'm pretty tickled at this point. And totally ready for good news, as this summer has been of the crap.

I HAZ AMYLIZ!

Congrats, Libkitty! If you need a place to stay, you'd be welcome here.

I HAZ AMYLIZ!

::pout::

So, um, I'm sure that all the SFistas are off having fun with AmyLiz or plotting the big weekend, but it looks like I'm probably going to be in your fair city October 24-28 for a conference.

I have no idea what kind of free time I'm going to have, but I imagine evenings will be free, and I think I will make Saturday evening free for some sort of something. I'll have to spend more time looking at the conference schedule, to figure out which workshops/sessions are important to me. But, I wanted to let you know that it looks like this trip is on, unless my profs won't let me out of class on Thursday.

I'm SO excited about this. On MANY levels.

It is looking like I will be in New York very briefly around Oct. 22nd.

Ok. More info. I will definitely be available Saturday evening (my workshop, if I get into the one I want, will end at 4pm). Then it looks like I'm gonna take a red-eye home Monday night, so I'll be available for hanging out Sunday after noon, and Monday until, well, I'll have to be at the airport by 4pm.

So, yay! I hope we can work it out so I can see bunches of people and more of the city than I saw last time I was out there.

Yay libkitty! Congrats!

I'm so envious of all the traveling Buffistas. Glad my peeps are having together time, though.

Thanks all, and especially thank you Sparky for your invite. Unless you're near the training site (and I don't know where that is yet), I should probably stay at the hotel during, but I would love to take you up on your offer if I get any extra time there, and at the very least I would love to see you.

Sounds like SFistas are having a great weekend. Yeah!!!!

For those of you considering attending DebacleCon 2007:

I've found a hotel in downtown Cleveland that is, if reserved far enough in advance, only $60.00 a night per room.

I want to call them on Monday and talk about reserving a block for whenever we want it during the December 13th-15th spread, but I need to have some tentative numbers first.

The 13th is a Thursday and is the night of Deb's library talk. The 15th is a Saturday and is the night of the gallery reception.

I was thinking maybe we could plan on a Saturday night stay, at least. With the Thursday event being during the week and a school night, I figured focusing on the Saturday night shindig would be more reasonable. Anyone free to come up before then can camp out at my house or stay at the hotel, whatever they prefer/can afford.

I haven't heard back from the bookstore yet, but there may be some sort of signing event on Friday as well.

eta: if you're interested in coming and/or want more info, drop me a note at serasempre @ gmail.com.

I'm going to x-post this to my LJ as well.

libkitty, I'd be interested in attending an F2F, but the schedule is craxy with all the vet visits. Tuesday evening is definitely out for us.
