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.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Yes, that was a consideration - close to Metro, a place for a large-ish group, and yummy (not necessarily in that order).

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

(I kinda had a lot of fun in Madison)

YAYES.

I thought I'd look at the Salish Lodge for the heck of it. It's at Snoqualmie Falls, the place in the opening credits of Twin Peaks. This [link] They are completely booked for July and August of next year. I doubt we could have afforded it anyway, but, yeah.

Fort Worden in Pt. Townsend is interesting. Upon a closer look, it's sort of like the Presidio in SF if it had been converted to vacation rental housing: lots of houses all converted for guest use, plus a beach and an upper camping area. It would seem to have a range of lodging, then, for all budgets. Folks can group up for house rentals, or camp. The camping isn't dirt cheap, actually. It's around $30 a day, but still, if you had a $150 lodging budget, you could stay 5 nights instead of 1.

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

That comic is totally neat, Kristin!

Kristin, I love that comic! And thanks for the heads-up about the software, too -- I could see possibly buying that for a program at my library, since I have a lot of kids who are really into comics.

Our wings are not tired.

I need to get that software for my boys. Fun stuff. The sample was verra cute too.

Kate! I saw your doppleganger yesterday at the grocery store. First I thought she looked like you, then she turned and smiled at her friend and she totally had your glorious smile too! I would have talked to her and told her that she looked like my beautiful friend, but she probably would have thought I was flirting in my gushiness and then I would be embarrassed. But it was nice to almost see you, unless you were shopping at Publix in Delray Beach yesterday in which case I am mighty upset I didn't say hi!

Thanks, guys! I was beginning to think maybe I was delusional in thinking it was kind of clever and fun. It's a great program, and I had a lot of fun with it. Tons of different treatments (watercolor, pencil, oil [that's the one I used], negative, etc.) and styles.

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

I hope not, because we have a couple hundred licenses for it floating around the looniversity... (Sadly, all the Comic Life projects I've worked with have been Japanese classes, which means I can't read the comics they produce.)

Heh. I meant my own sorry attempt at a comic, not the software. Vague pronouns are no one's friend!

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

I liked the comic but I wanted it to be bigger. Am I missing a way to make it bigger?
