What we did in Madison and in New Orleans is order the minimum (in this case $2000) in food and open bar.
Jayne: That's a good idea. Good idea. Tell us where the stuff's at so I can shoot you. Mal: Point of interest? Offering to shoot us might not work so well as an incentive as you might imagine.

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

We might want to decide the method when we have a better idea of head-count.
P.S. Happy Birthday, ND.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Would any LAistas be interested in a trip to the Ren Faire on May 3rd?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Be sure to tacklehug all the mongers (the ragged disreputable people hanging around the front gate selling smelly fish and pig testicles and such) for me!

Cos the fish & testicles are 'to go', or they'll smell better after several more hours in the sun, or... what?
I think there is a flaw in your reasoning.

I was thinking maybe the mongers absorbed the smell of their wares... in which case you're right it's probably better to hug them early and let myself air out over the course of the day rather than getting a stinky hug right before I get back in the car.

Laga, insent. Sorry. Bad day(s) at work. I'm hoping thurs-monday. It might be thurs-sun. Depends on response from locals I'm visiting after.
Newbie f2f question. How do we chip in for the group stuff? Tallied @ end? More importantly, can it be put on visa? Just figuring out budgets and cash flow.
There was talk upthread about baseball. Is it too soon to start organizing that, or has that idea been passed over?
Ok, back to going mad at work and trying not to kill anyone.

I booked a flight! I get in Thursday afternoon and fly out Sunday night. Now I need a prom dress. Does a shopping trip to Melrose appeal to any other LAistas?
