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?
Ah, the pitter patter of tiny feet in huge combat boots. Shut up!

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

I had vague thoughts about wanting to drive up/down and camp and visit people along the way. They are no longer vague! Woo hoo! I am spending some time in Portland with a friend, and then we are traveling together to Mendocino over a couple of days, and I'll fill in with other friends up/down, too. Fun! I'll probably make it a straight shot Seattle from Portland, if case anyone wants a ride up, tho' I'm going to Pt. Townsend and possibly Lummi and San Juan Islands afterwards, so a ride down (unless later in the week) would not work.
So I have a Q about the parking fee. The thought of paying $40/night to park my car makes me crazy. Is there an equivalent to, say, leaving my car at Cofax's house, and taking BART to the hotel, then staying there?

Heck yeah, Java. Public transport in Seattle is quite nice. I'm sure we can figure out something like that. When are you planning (roughly) to arrive/leave?

As soon as the hotel is booked, I'll give TCG all the info, and we can decide if we are going to be able to go or not. We're definitely leaning toward going at this point. I need to fix the fact that I have never been to a F2F.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Sadly, the Miracleborns will not be in attendance this year. With traveling for my brother's wedding in July and the uncertainty of surgery/radiation, we just don't have the funds. Which makes me incredibly, incredibly sad.

I understand why, and I agree it's a good choice, but that doesn't mean I gotta like it.

Aww man. That sucks.
In happier news- it's possible I got my prom dress for $5 today. If I find a better dress for prom I still got an awesome dress for $5. Doesn't make up for a Miracleborn-free f2f, though.
