I'll be adding more info throughout the week, including our special rate for rooms, but here's the beginnings of things...
Angel: I appreciate you guys looking out for Connor all summer. It's just—he's confused. He needs time. That's all. Fred: Right. Time, and some corporal punishment with a large heavy mallet. Not that I'm bitter.

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

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.

I believe vampires are the world's greatest golfers
Halfway through sending out Gift Exchange messages tonight I was interrupted by a pathetically ill Blue Eyed Boy (the full story involves stomach flu - you really don't want to know any more). I hope to finish sending out the announcements tomorrow.
If you sent me an email about participating and don't hear from me by Sunday, or if you foresee any problems getting a gift to the Buffista whose name you received, email me at my profile address.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
One more thing and then I'll shut up about California already. (:
As a couple people mentioned an interest in coming to the Beyond Baroque gig in Venice, which is at 10 p.m. we were wondering if people might want to get together a bit earlier somewhere in the vacinity. Van Gogh's Ear maybe? That didn't do something stupid like close while I've been gone, has it? I'm so out of touch.
Also, access to Internet will be limited while I'm gone, so if someone wants to marshall the Laista troops, maybe they can shoot me their phone number. Profile address works.
Need. Vacation. Now.

move out and draw fire
DC/Baltimore-istas, on Saturday, December 13, the Raquel Cineplex will be showing the extended DVD of The Two Towers. I'm thinking a potluck dinner, lembas, and almost four hours of movie goodness! Profile addy good.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I offered, and Nilly graciously relieved me of the task, to host a slacker secret santa this year if there is interest. I think if there are at least 5 to 10 people interested it would be worth doing. If you could just stop in to Bureacracy and let us know if there is interest, that would be great!

I believe vampires are the world's greatest golfers
Re: the above. Judging by emails I've gotten today, there's some confusion as to whether latecomers can still get in on the gift exchange.
I'm happy to continue matching names. OTOH, if Nilly wants to do a separate second round of name-matching, the more people there are the easier it'll be for her to do so.
I've decided to just declare an arbitrary cutoff and pass any more names on to Nilly. So... Nilly and/or Sophia, please email me so that we can pool our collection of latecomers and make sure no-one gets missed. Thanks!

I'm so pleased to announce that Darling Violetta will be our musical entertainment at The Wolfram & Hart Annual Revue. We'll also have deejayed dancing through the night as well as a surprise or two.
DV are the band who wrote and performed the theme song for Angel. Check out their site to hear more.
Hope you can come!
