This is my boat. They're part of my crew. No one's getting left. Best you get used to that.

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

Okay, how about this: 11am brunch at the Halsted Chicago Diner, plans for the day to be determined over food.

...pending agreement from Shir.

Awesome. Directions look pretty straight forward. As long as parking isn't too hard to find!

Shir and I are in for 11am! Also she thanks you for distracting her from her rant about the misuse of the term metadata in the media.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I'm working during the day tomorrow. No brunch for me.

Does anyone want to join us?

Ooh! Maybe.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I've put my cell-phone number in my profile. I've currently got shrift's, dcp's and brenda's, so I think I'm prepared for finding folks in Chicago.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'll be there at 11:00 too.

I'm planning on taking a train down. If what we do for the rest of the day involves cars, will there be enough people with cars that I can catch a ride? Otherwise I can take my car too.

Who is surprised to hear my culture shock began at Sephora?

"I'm picking out a thermos for you /No ordinary thermos will do" now.

I wish I were kidding. My family, it can be very specific. And my sister... well, she’s something else in that scale. I have two models of specific thermos containers to look for. And a not-sure-how-idle "don't return home without it" line in an email.

King Lear

shrift, did you already buy tickets? I’m asking so I won’t buy them redundantly.

Yay Chicago Diner today!
