Seconding--transit sucks, and parking isn't great, but better than NYC or SF, and if you're willing to pay for a lot, most parts of the city have plenty of options.
Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

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

Okay, I'm a doofus, so I only just booked my flights for my Seattle trip (almost $100 extra each way over last week, dammit). Coming in Thursday, Nov 5 at 6:10pm, leaving Monday, Nov 9 at 6:45pm. I'll be busy Saturday afternoon & evening with my niece's festivities, but other than that I'm pretty open.
Not to sound needy, but will any Seattle-istas be able to get together anywhere in there? I'm looking forward to seeing the sights, but definitely hoping to see some peeps as well!

European Buffistas, ahoy! I plan to go to a 4-5 days vacation in The Netherlands (mostly The Hauge), with possibly a day in London before and a day in Belgium in between. The vacation will take place between February 10th and the 16/17th, 2016.
As always, I'd be more than happy to meet you in person. Let me know if you'd like to meet me too. Profile addy is good.
(Food recommendations for all of the places listed above are very welcomed).

Okay, fine, Needy-Shmeedy - one last shout out! Seattle-istas! I'm coming at ya!
My niece has said I'm welcome to bring guest(s) to her party (and/or pub crawl after - bonus, reception/party/thingy is loosely Firefly themed! I'm so proud!) So I'm mostly available for all of my stay - Thursday (late) dinner thru Monday (early) dinner. (Though there's talk of brunch on Sunday, it's not firmed yet).
I'm okay with planning on the fly, but I'd like to have some general ideas of when/if people might like to make some plans.
I'm staying at a motel called The Grove West Seattle, and will have a rental car.
So, anybody going to be in town and available for meals/hanging out/what have you? (Profile addy is good, and I'll confirm my cell# is in there too).

Oh, sorry Epic--I've been so out of it! I was going to be at a dance thing all weekend, but decided I'm sick and not up for all that. (Just a cold, and I think/hope it's on the downside now but still). I've got plans with a friend on Saturday--is your niece's thing Friday, or Saturday?

Quite probably! Saturday is booked, rest is free.

Oh, phooey!
(If that "weekend" leaves any unclaimed time Thursday or Monday, I'd totally get up early or stay up late to try to squeeze in a Jilli-visit, BTW, IJS).

meara, what's the swing dancing like around there? Especially something more low-key, maybe Friday or Sunday (or I guess I could manage Thursday if there's a good venue that night)? I'm not going to bring a ton of wardrobe choices or dancing shoes, but if there's something a little casual (within time constraints), I might enjoy a little dancing in a new city. (And if you're not feeling well enough, I'd rather do a low-energy hang to visit with people, obv.)
