Cool. Just added your phone number to my contacts.
And now my boy's in love. All hearts and flowers. But, doesn't it freak you out that she used to change your diapers? I mean, when you think about it, the first woman you boned is the closest thing you've ever had to a mother. Doing your mom and trying to kill your dad. Hm. There should be a play.

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

I'll probably be gone by dinnertime on the 28th. Could you come up any earlier in the afternoon? I'd love to see you, Matt.
I have not booked. Shall we settle on the airport one? [link]
The downtown ones don't seem to have rooms during the dates.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Perfect; that's the hotel I was looking at, Liese.
When are people arriving? I was planning on driving down early on Friday the 27th, probably get there by 1, and go home sometime Sunday.

Me: arrival around 5:30 PM Friday, (should be available for a 6PM dinner), leaving probably early Monday morning. Need to get back in time for Welcome to Night Vale show Monday night in Chapel Hill!

Great, Zenkitty. I'll go ahead and book my room. There's a presidential suite, that I was hoping they'd let me book on points, but looks like no.
I'll get in on Thursday night, go get drinks with my buddy. Then I'll be there through Saturday. I have to drive to Kansas for the SO's show Sunday night. I would normally just try to hook up with him for the recording session the next day, but the 29th's his birthday. So I just have to get part of the way on Saturday, so if the people coming in just that day could get together earlier than dinnertime, I might be able to hang around.

Okay, so: dinner on the 27th, Kate, Liese, amyth, and me. Late lunch on the 28th, me, Kate, Liese, amyth, and Matt. Dinner on the 28th, whoever's still in town and up for gathering. Am I right? Is anyone coming that I left out?
Is there a good Ethiopian restaurant in Nashville? I haven't had Ethiopian food in ages.

Gris and tiggy live in Nashville too -- I'll see if either of them can make any of the gatherings.
edit: And there are a couple of good Ethiopian places, which I'd be happy to do.

I can probably make it into Nashville by 3 or so, but knowing how my Saturday mornings tend to go I couldn't guarantee anything earlier. Don't delay lunch for me, that's awfully late to eat.

Update: dinner on the 27th, Kate, Liese, amyth, and me. Dinner on the 28th, me, Kate, amyth, and Matt. At some point I'm going to the Parthenon, anyone else want to go? (For those who don't know it, Nashville has an exact replica of the Parthenon in Centennial Park, and it now has a huge statue of Athena that I haven't seen since there was scaffolding around it.)
Kate will check on Ethiopian food, for meeee. Anyone doesn't like Ethiopian?
Gris, tiggy, any other Nashville-adjacent peeps, let us know if you can come!
Looking at the map, it seems my college town has changed a bit since I lived there. I'll have to drive by and see if the old strip club is still there.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
Rotier's, Elliston Place and the Exit/In are still there. That's about it around VU. They tore down the Hurry Back a few years ago. I wasn't exactly nostalgic for my late night trips to the Hurry Back to get beer and papers to bribe a photographer to print the pictures we needed for the paper. There may have been other late-night minimarts in your era.
