Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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.

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

I'm finding pretty much nothing for DCA to Madison for under $350. Dulles is a pain to get to, but I'll fly from there if it's significantly cheaper. I'm not really finding much from there either, though. There's the $259 from Baltimore, but that's also a pain to get to. Still considering.

But is it $259 total, or $259 for each leg of the round trip?

Our wings are not tired.

I sent some money in to the Prom, etc fund. Do we have an update or a target? Not trying to be pushy, just eager to help out more if it's needed.

Great write-up, P-C. That parking garage beep is still cracking me up!

Enjoyed the post, P-C. And as for my new tag - truer words...

F2F update:

The fund is up to $374.91 right now. Thanks to all who have donated, we are one quarter way to having what we need.

javachik, for some reason PayPal didn't send me notification of your donation, I try to send everyone a reply when I get one. I'd like to thank you here for your generosity!

Sail, maybe we (doesn't have to be you) should post a reminder every week or so in this thread or in Press? I know for me things tend to slip unless I'm prodded to remember. Because I am five and can't handle the grown up stuff on my own, probably.

I figured once a week, but since I am also five, I haven't paid attention to when that week actually is. And, I don't believe that you're five, because you were the second person to send me money.

The status is NOT quo.

Actually, Sail, we're close enough that I think you might want to consider posting a couple of times a week and with a bit more sense of urgency. Just my two cents from my experience with NOLA. People (and I completely include myself in this category) often don't donate until they realize how close the event is and how increasingly urgent the need is. We're four weeks away now, right?
