Dawn: I thought you were adequate. Giles: And the accolades keep pouring in. I'd best take my leave before my head swells any larger. Good night.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
COME ONE COME ALL TO THE 2004 FACE TO FACE
In the F2F thread we are wrapping up the discussion on where next years gathering will be. The vote will be Friday.
At the moment we are pretty much between Baltimore/DC and Montreal. Please come and join the discussion!

In case you don't see it in Bitches, ChiKat, thank you for the Blankey! It's snugglesome and a gorgeous color and makes neat jingly noises and I must keep the covetous kitten away.

Our wings are not tired
For those folks who would like to puruse them, I've uploaded pictures from the mini F2F in San Francisco.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
A visit to the set of Angel is up on ebay: benefiting the Starbright Foundation. In case anyone's interested, and has a couple of thou extra to donate.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I'll be adding more info throughout the week, including our special rate for rooms, but here's the beginnings of things...

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
We're trying to get a feel for how many people are/would be able to attend both of the potential F2F locations. This poll is informal, and will be open for at least a few days.
Would go/might go/can't go poll.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Passing the word on for a friend ...

LAistas! The Great South Bay Book Swap...
...where book lovers can trade in their used books for someone else?s and support the San Pedro Library. On November 15, 2003 (10-3) at Angel?s Gate Cultural Center, participants can drop off gently-used fiction, non-fiction, poetry, young adult and children?s books as well as books-on-tape and return home with just as many new-to-you items from the community pool. The requested $5 participation fee and any leftover books will be donated to the San Pedro Library.
More information about the event can be found at [link]

If anyone has books to donate but doesn't want to/can't attend, just e-mail me, and I'll get them to the event.
