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.

To make life easy for P-C, why don't we meet in the lobby of the Parker House at 5:30? It'll be a nice walk over to Chinatown.

That sounds like a plan to me.

Cindy - do you know Boston enough to get to the Parker House? If you need to drive (as opposed to commuter rail) one of the end stations (i.e. Alewife, Braintree, Riverside) might be an option parking-wise.

Thanks for the reminder, Kristin. I scan this thread religiously, so I don't always think to post things in Press.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Me! And I'd love to either catch a ride with someone, or rent a car and give some other folks a ride. I'll be coming back mid-day on Sunday, most likely.

That's when I'd be likely to come back, too, and it looks like the flights to Chicago are about $150 cheaper than to Madison. I could chip in some if you rent a car and could give me a ride. (I'm still not 100% sure yet that I'm going -- I still have to consider the cost and the dates.)

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

it looks like I'm not going to be able to afford to go. le sigh. We're losing our deadbeat roommate and his always-pay-early brother. Over a misunderstanding with the laundry for goodness sake. I asked D if J apologized and asked to stay what would he say. D said, "I'd say I'm sorry but you called me a f---ing idiot in my own home and I can't tolerate you living here after that." I really can't argue. I was there for a lot of it and J was shouting and posturing, it was scary and I'm glad he's moving. But I am very very sad the refund of their security deposit and the balance of May's rent will eat up the money I was planning to spend on the f2f.

here's hoping I can make it to the first prom in a yurt!

Our wings are not tired

If they are moving and not giving at least 30 days notice you shouldn't be giving them the balance of the rent. They may even be sacrificing their deposit.

further discussion is going on in Bitches. Basically I think J's going to change his mind and try to apologize. If that happens I think we'll have to evict them.

Balance of rent? Oh hell no.

What is even happening?

Frank, I can take the Orange Line to Gov't Center to get to the Omni Parker. I just don't know my way around Chinatown. I think I'm going to meet up with P-C tomorrow night, instead. I have a baby-sitting conflict on Wednesday.

Well, I think we were meeting P-C at the Parker House, so navigating Chinatown wouldn't be an issue. And shoot on finally meeting you. I guess the universe doesn't end for another while.

Wait, Frank, were you not at Tom and Nora's when Nilly was visiting? I thought sure I remembered you as being part of that crowd.
