And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb

Victor, there's no way of knowing real numbers until everyone gets here. I'm guessing, based on the fact all the rooms in the room block have been filled (15) and the fact many are having to find overflow locations, we're going to be pulling in 30-35 folks minimum. This has really turned out to be a larger F2F than I expected with gas prices and just the economy in general.

F2F fund update:

We've got a little over $1100 in the fund right now. That covers the 4 hour room rental for Prom. (Yay, Prom!) Right now, the room is scheduled for 8:30pm to 12:30pm. If we want to stay in the room longer, the rate is charged every half hour after ($137.50 per half hour).

We still need to cover the hospitality suite, somewhere between $275 and $300 (I'm not sure how taxes are going to beef up the actual cost, the room is $129 per night.) Also, if we want to stock the room with munchies and a limited selection of booze and soda, etc., we could use more of the extremely generous donations I've been receiving.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I AM SO BUMMED NOT TO BE GOING THIS YEAR.

That is all.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

What Jessica and Frank said.

(But, Jess, are you already in Canada that weekend, or in NY?)

I'm in NY that weekend, at the Clearwater Folk Festival.

It's ALSO the same weekend as TAM6, which I am almost as bummed about missing as the F2F.

We will be in NY!! And realized right after planning the trip that other peoples would be in Madison -- not to mention that this thread would be completely full of the f2f talk.

Our wings are not tired.

Damn, Jessica. I was really looking forward to seeing you.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep! We must meet up!

Saturday we'll be in the city (so far plans include picking up our CSA veggies and not much else), and Sunday we'll be up at Clearwater.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I AM SO BUMMED NOT TO BE GOING THIS YEAR.

Me too, dang it. Yes, I'll be on a beach, but I'm still bummed that vacation couldn't have been any other week of the year.
