It's not like she blew me off. She just left with another guy, that's all.

F2F5: I forget that everyone isn't us

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

OK, looks like I need a bit more of your help. Can anyone send to my email smonster's number? I need to get back to my travel agent ASAP with an answer and I need smonster's reply for that.

Got her number and talked with her - thank you, Amy, Laura, and Jen - and we've got confirmation, people. I'm coming, and you better be there because the flights aren't refundable.

(smonster, I'm sorry for that first call. I heard you, but for some reason you couldn't hear me).

Let's talk regional F2F!

Nilly! My babies are 19 (20 this summer!) and 22. And huge! They were only 7 and 9 when I found Buffistas.

Megan, that's exactly what I wanted! didn't occur to me to look there, but, oh yeah! Suzi, it wouldn't be me, it would be my friend, but please do tell any travel wisdom. Someone suggested that meara's been traveling in that area a lot lately, too, tho' I know she's out of Seattle.

Seattle! You're going to be in Seattle! Hey!

Yeah, I'm out of Seattle and haven't been to Des Moines since November (thank goodness--so far Out of my way!)

SF guys, you might be able to see me for a very short time after all.

My flight from Tel Aviv will go as follows: Tel Aviv > Newark > SF > Seattle (followed by a light rail. And a ferry ride. And a car ride). Good news is that if I'm reading the flights schedule right, on Saturday, May 3rd, I'll have a stop in SFO between 10:00am and 13:00pm.

Wanna come and say hello to an exhausted version of me who will be looking for food and coffee?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I might be up for that (although you'd have to come out from security to meet me, if you don't want to do that I understand). I've got some other stuff going on that day, but remind me what your waiting-around-in-the-airport schedule looks like when it's coming up and I'll see what I can do. And I can bring some food if you have preferred take out, even something not available via drive-thru given sufficient notice (assuming I can make it, of course)

As long as I'll be able to come back to catch the flight to Seattle, I don't mind going through security again. Can I do this? I'll check with the travel agent tomorrow.

And I can bring some food if you have preferred take out, even something not available via drive-thru given sufficient notice (assuming I can make it, of course)

That's very thoughtful of you, thanks. I just meant I'll probably have something to eat and drink there, and I was wondering if one or more of you might want to join me. The point is seeing you (and, well, to get coffee in my system).
