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.

Sail, have you heard if I-39 up from Illinois is clear? That's my most likely route up to Madison.

As far as I know the only part of I-39 having problems in the southbound lanes just north of Madison. But, they're really only reporting on WI roads on the news, here, so I can't really speak to other states. If you do run into problems with 39, I recommend trying US51. It runs straight north to Madison from Memphis and parallels I-90/39. You should be able to hop back on to I-90/39 once you get to northern IL. The good thing is, that I-90 is still totally clear through the Rockford, Beloit, Janesville corridor. They're having flooding from the Rock River, but the interstate is far enough away it's not having any effect on it.

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

that was indeed fucking great. Was that Brendon Small on vocals?

Now tagless for your comfort.

I have nothing to wear. I may try to go shopping on Friday afternoon or Saturday morning.

I'm definitely recycling bits from Outfits of Yore for this year's prom costume. Meant to take my corset in to be drycleaned, but I kept forgetting, so I haven't decided yet whether or not it's still wearable as is.

The F2F is my first stop on a two-week vacation, which will include not only Prom, but also a major professional conference, hiking, and the climates of both LA and Seattle. I'm used to packing lightly, but it's just not gonna happen this time!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Okay, Vimeo was problematic. It even messed up the music in mine.

So here's a YSI link (good for 100 downloads): it's a QuickTime file, ~38 MB -- Steph's SF2F video #1.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Was that Brendon Small on vocals?

Nope. H. Jon Benjamin. Though they both did voices for Home Movies, so I can see where you got that.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Steph, that video crashed Quicktime 7.4.5 about 5 seconds in. It plays with some hitches in the video in Irfanview 4.10

I upgraded Quicktime to version 7.5, re-downloaded the video, and got the same results.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Kate, I've got an embellished bra that came with instructions to spray with a 4:1 water:vodka solution to eliminate odors and bacteria - it's an ordinary formed cup bra, covered with linen, lined with "horsehair" padding, and cotton. Would the vodka solution help your corset, do you think?
