Also I have a Scola and a Hec and we are wandering around the beautiful Huntington Gardens and all is right with the world.
Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

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

I'm doing a presentation at the Pasadena Library tonight, and Tom folded it into his vacation. We're driving back to SF tomorrow.

The Huntington was amazing! And Pix was a gracious tour guide and we managed to peel Drew away from work to have lunch with us.

I love the Huntington! Such a gorgeous library.

They are currently displaying the Magna Freakin' Carta!
Also first Folio Shakespeare and first editions of every major scientific work you can imagine: Galileo, Newton, Darwin, Kepler, Brahe, Copernicus.

If I recall, the science stuff is a permanent exhibit (or at least it's been there for 5 years or so) which is amazing. The first folio is also almost always on display (as is the Gutenberg). The magna carta, though, is probably for the anniversary. So perhaps not a huge rush.

Hope it goes well!
I love Huntington Gardens. Haven't been in a couple of years, but I love it.
