Okay - for Friday, it looks like Ferry Building is the consensus for the pretty/showing off SF. Shall we meet inside the doors that face Embarcadero that are next to Taylor's (the northern wing of the building) at 12:30? That way, people can grab what they want (or brown-bag it), and then we can reconvene outside on the water and grab a table. Sound good?

bt, do you have my cell? Profile addy is good if you don't - e me and I'll wing it your way.

Sounds good.

Sorry I missed you guys tonight - just now wrapping up work. Feh.

Whew! Glad everythings okay. Had a fun dinner with Aurelia and Shrift. Went to a salvadoran/mexican place. Margaritas were on special, but we were good. Great convo.

sorry I didn't get to meet the rest of the chicagoistas. Next time, I will actually get my shit together and contact folks before I swan into town :)

While I think of it, Seattleistas, I'll be arriving on Friday night and will have spare time over the weekend. Anyone interested in arranging a get-together?

PS: how do people feel about card games? I'm bringing a few.

-t, I love the idea of stuffing my luggage in your car for easier playing on Monday.

So, someone pick a place to meet. All of those ideas sound like wonderful fun. Fisherman's Wharf sounds good. Shall we do that?

vw - I can also drag you into work with me on Monday and have -t pick you up from here.

Oh, that's a fun idea.

Extra Suzi time is always good.

Fisherman's Wharf works for me.

I'm at a writers conference for most of the weekend but could conceivably do something Sunday night. Pending spousal negotiation, of course, since said spouse will be a single parent while I'm gone all weekend, so it might need to be something where I could bring a 3-year-old along.
