I'm interested in contributing to this, but I want to make sure it's on the up-and-up. Can anybody confirm? Email address in profile is good if anyone has a sec to give me the scoop.

Who? moi??
The newspaper the other day had an article about "CashCall". The service that Gary Coleman has been pitching. Apparantly the company does not tell you what the interest rate is until right before you sign. It can be as high as 59% (fifty nine percent)
This company, btw, is owned by DiTech (per the article)

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Right. So. Now that a F2F location has been chosen, all who may be/are/are thinking of coming to Seattle the last weekend in October for Deb's Book Tour Kick-Off/Halloween with the Buffistas please report to the F2F thread so we can get our scattered planning gathered and, well, planned.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
How to Succeed as a Failing Writer Continues its making of friends and influencing of people with Pavlov’s Poets and the Road More Traveled: It’s a good time to be a poet. So why does that make me uneasy?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I made a proposal this morning in the F2F thread about retiring the Class Protector awards, and there has been some discussion of the topic since then.
There is a general consensus so far that the Awards should be retired but held in reserve in case we as a board feel someone deserves one. I would love to have more discussion of the topic, to make sure that really is a board consensus.
If you would like to weigh in on the topic, the discussion starts here: Lee "F2F 2: Is there anybody here that hasn't slept together?" Sep 30, 2004 7:25:37 am PDT.

Hey folks:
The Buffista Book Club is about to start discussion on its third book. October 11, to be exact. (See the first Book Club post for details.) Anyone who wants to choose one of the next books, now's the time.
Here's how it works: we'll take volunteers to choose books. Through some as yet undetermined super-seekrit method we'll assign those folks a month. When it's your turn, all the power is in your hands. There's a book nomination list that you are encouraged but not required to choose from.
So come on over to the Book Club and throw your hat into the ring. You know you want to.
corrections or clarifications to this post welcome, if I've misstated anything. Best to bring that to the thread, though.
