This is mostly for anyone who might have sent me baby clothes...
I regularly read a blog written by Mel who runs a non-profit that provides doula services and bags of clothes to poor women in South Africa. I am planning on sending her a package of used baby clothes - stuff that Frisco has now outgrown. However, much of that stuff was very kindly sent to me by buffistas. I just want to be sure that no one has a problem with me sending their clothes on to South Africa. (I did get a few things that were requested to be returned when we are done with them. I am, of course, not sending those things to SA.)
Anyway, please e me if you would like anything back. I'll be mailing the package on Wednesday, I think.
Does everyone know that the cover of this week's Newsweek has an offer from Target for a reusable shopping bag. Using the cover of the magazine as a mailer, you can send in your plastic Target bags in for a coupon for one of Target's reusable bags.
One offer per household.
We now have a website for the F2F. The link is also available in the F2F thread.
Information on room reservations is there, as is a ton of stuff to do around Madison, copies of the catering menu, etc.

Lightbulbs is now open for the discussion period of a proposal to create a new gaming thread by Miracleman as follows:
I propose the creation of a Gaming Thread (clever title to come later), in which people could discuss games: board, video and tabletop RPG and all attendant news, developments and ancillary subjects thereof.
BSG fans - TODAY they are running the new episode from the top of the hour from 9 am - 4 pm ET.
Fabulous post up at www.travelswithchild.org from ***Cashmere*** (::Throws Glitter::)
