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.

Loved seeing the pics from SF.

Okay. Nanita, I can pick you up from the airport Friday when I come get amyth, unless y'all want to share a cab. Does anyone need a ride Sat? Strix, I'm either going to dispatch someone to get you or we'll reimburse you for the cab, since you are getting in at party time. Anything else we need to sort out now?

Can't believe it's this weekend!

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

I just rented a car for the weekend, to make comings and goings easier on myself, and maybe others. So Nanita, I can drop you at your hotel since we get in around the same time.

SO EXCITE.

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

I also have a car for the weekend. I get in Saturday around 4:30.

Our wings are not tired.

I was thinking actually of renting a car, too. I'll let you know!

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Epic - I can't wait to see you in SD (and SD lurkers too)!

So excited to meet you! Sorry I can't host a brunch or anything, but certainly hope we get some time to hang! And if there are any SD lurkers, I look forward to meeting them too!

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Hoo, I am also excited! Also, to be honest, kind of terrified, so I may be Quiet Xanax Girl, petting an animal in the corner, for a while. Honestly, if there's a better city and a better group of people with whom to be an utter nervous nutjob, I can't think of it.

And. ..50 cent oysters? Holy moly, Nora, you are a goddess. Who else wants to worship at the altar of seafood with me?

Yep! You might want to let someone know that you need alone time. As Laura's DH can tell you, during his first F2F, he stepped away to take a breather from the Buffista Juggernaut and when I went over to check on him, he was amused that at least three people (not including me) had come over to make sure that he was okay and not feeling left out.

I am also of the "may need to hide in a corner for a bit" group. I am always good to pet an animal.

There's always a corner of decompressing Buffistae at any gathering, often knitting or sewing or just face down in their computer. It's what we do.

As I recall, at the SF2F, I was in a hallway having a freakout, and you came up and hugged me first and then asked what was wrong, and I said "People keep getting in my personal space!!!!" That still makes me giggle.
