Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

F2F5: I forget that everyone isn't us

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.

Jilli, I wish I'd know when I was working on Marie Laveau! Prob could have scared up a handful of dirt for you. Not sure when I'll be working there next, but I will try to grab you some. Not from her grave, there's no dirt, but from somewhere in there.

Ooo! Lilly's (Vietnamese restaurant) also has a nail salon two doors down I've been wanting to try. What kind of massage are you looking for? I do have someone I can recommend for super gentle massage.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'll make it another time, Nanita. Have a bloody mary or two for me!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I get in later on Saturday, FWIW.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Super grey right now, but I get in on Saturday right around the time Jesse does. I will be renting a car. I'm hoping there will be an SUV on the lot for maximum people hauling if necessary. I leave on Tuesday.

Our wings are not tired.

Maria should I include you in a Monday St Louis res? Anyone else?

Anyone want to do lunch on Monday at Commander's Palace? What time is the tour?

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

I am up for lunch On Monday at Commander's Palace.

Following Nanita's link above, tours of St. Louis #1 are offered at 10:00 a.m., 11:30 a.m., and 1:00 p.m. daily, and Google Maps says Commander's Palace is about a ten minute drive away. So I think both are doable.
