I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

Going dark now-ish. Heading back to Chicago this weekend for VividCon. Back Monday.

(Also? Will be attending DragonCon again this year, if any Buffistas are going & wanna meet up.)

Massive power outage just hit Eastern seaboard, in case you're suddenly missing your favorite Buffista.

In other news, this t-shirt my friends and I made and are now selling will be featured on CNN tomorrow night at 7 p.m.

It actually reaches Ottawa and quite far into Northern Ontario as well. Jess is probably without power.

Thanks for all the fish.

I'm on the phone with Trudy right now (AIFG). She's fine, if a little bored. She has enough water to do her, and says the city is really quiet and all the windows are lit with candles. 'Tis like the 1800s.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

This will be cross-posted in F2F.

On the theory that it's never too early to begin planning a party (especially where travel is involved), we're talking Halloween weekend in San Francisco. Plans are vague, but certain visitors to the City by the Bay - including Teppy and Perkins - are definites. Halloween is actually on Friday night, and that means the annual kinky hoo-ha on Castro Street (the Castro thing is traditional and has earned its fame) will be doubly fun, since it verges the weekend.

My thinking is, a party at our house on Saturday, 1 November. If folks want to do the Castro street party, on Halloween proper, that would mean no clash of potential good times.

If anyone - specifically those who will need a bed or beds - for the weekend or any part thereof - is interested, e me relatively soon and let me know. sf_deb@yahoo.com works for it.
