This is a time of celebration, so sit still and be quiet.

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.

Fred Pete, don't we usually freak out the natives? (remembers DC ... New Orleans ... San Francisco)

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

I don't think we freaked out New Orleans or San Francisco.

At best those locales gave us a thumbs-up for "nice effort".

Shit's all sorts of different now.

So I was just talking to my co-worker who is from the Madison area and her parents live out near House on the Rocks and when she spoke to them yesterday, they said the flooding was pretty bad out that way and it might be very difficult to get to.

Not saying we should scrap the trip yet, just a warning that it might need to be if time is proving to be too tight.

Yeah, I think we may need to play it by ear on that one. But I'm glad 94 looks to be in order.

The roads are slowly opening back up. It looks like eastbound I-90/94 is open again, so Daniel and Andi won't have any problem getting here. From what I've seen on the DOT website, the roads we'd need to get to the HotR are clear, it's only some of the side roads out there that are having problems.

MM, I remember people in New Orleans - one woman in particular - standing and staring at ND. And during prom, we got a fair amount of attention.

I loved the bartender at New Orleans prom!

The one at the DC prom had a lot of fun! (That was when we REALLY freaked out the other hotel guests - having the Buffistas and church groups is a fun thing.)

We did get our fair share of gawkers in SF, but I don't think they were shocked or surprised, they just thought it was cool we were having so much fun.

Tell that to the people in the motorcade.
