Cool! I'm booking the Oaks.
Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

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

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Okay, phew. A lot to catch up on.
First, I want to make sure everyone know that this was not some kind of sooper seekrit that only some Buffistas got invited to; it just sort of happened on FB as a result of a southwest fare sale. If you can swing flight and hotel, come on!
Second, Nora and I were talking about doing this place for dinner Friday - [link] - but is anyone going to be here Friday for dinner? Sounds like a bunch of people are coming in Friday night. I guess Erin's spreadsheet will help with that.
Third, I can't make a tour on Monday because I'll be back at work. I think. Maybe. I can walk y'all through Lafayette on Sat or Sun.
Fourth, Jilli, no gift shop. Are you looking for grave dirt or just graveyard dirt? And do you want it from St. Louis #1? I may be able to help out.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Seriously, there's no one selling graveyard dirt from NOLA's famous cemeteries yet? I sense a niche market begging to be filled.

I really wish I could come, but there's just no way. Sad face.

I mean, a voodoo shop might be but whether it's real or not, who can say? Also, because the vast majority of graves are above ground vaults, there's not that much dirt around. Especially in St. L #1.

Too many obligations this year or I'd try to swing by, too. *sadface* Still, I can imagine everyone having a hell of a good time and I'm sure there will be pictures to hoot at.

My flight gets in at 7:46PM Friday--too late for dinner? What time were you all thinking?

I get in at 7:30 Friday. Where are you staying, amyth? With Smonster?
That restaurant looks amazing but I think I will be too wiped to try and get from airport to hotel room and then to a nice restaurant by any reasonable time, and I don't want to hold y'all up. But I will mos def be down for a drink or something later that evening?
