Crap! Forgot all about DST. Sorry guys, I think we're not going to make it. And I was looking forward to seeing Maria and the Kathys and everyone. Not to mention potato pancakes.
Honestly, you meet the most appalling sort of people....

I took pictures, but only of food. My batteries were low.
The potato pancakes were awesome.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
The potato pancakes were indeed awesome. shrift's cabbage soup looked yummy too. The blintzes were delish, and they kept the coffee cups full. It was a very nice Sunday morning, with fabulous conversation. I love how we can move from music to fandom to hockey without blinking an eye.
Kathy A is an awesome tour guide, and it was terrific to finally meet tommyrot and shrift. Though I'm sad I didn't get to see brenda (and meet her sister) again. Next time there will be more notice.
Thanks again for braving the cold weather and the time change to come out and hang for a bit. It was much fun.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
Much fun was had (and the sour borscht was yummy, too)!! I'm trying to convince Maria to add a weekend day if she comes out here this summer (or at least when the weather's nice) so we can do an architectural boat tour on the river/lake. If we do, I hope some other Buffistas can join us!
Heck, even if MFN can't fit us in, maybe we should plan one, anyway. I'll have to see when would work for people and make sure we pick a good-weather day.

I actually did photograph my cabbage soup and Kathy's sour borscht, because I'm kind of a dork.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
an architectural boat tour
Just in case you didn't already know this: the best (really the only one that matters) boat tour is the one sponsored by the Chicago Architecture Foundation aboard Chicago's First Lady. And not just because there's a full bar on the boat.

Thanks! I was kind of kidding, but I'm glad to have it. We have a plane now, so I am cautiously optimistic. And the guy sitting next to me just farted. Ew.
