S'okay, Toddson. These days I can only have about one drink. Two if I'm feeling well-fed and not too worried about the morning. After that, it's a reallly really bad idea, and a migraine in the morning will remind me of it. Along with puking all day. So, um, I've stopped having more than one or two. Usually one. Sigh. The medication to stop the migraines....

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

Ah, now I'm pining for the fun of the Old Absinthe House at the New Orleans f2f, even if they did use herbsaint instead of real absinthe...
I don't think I'd be able to throw back a sazerac and scoff that it's not even 80 proof quite so easily nowadays.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Ahh maturity- when "I'll never drink like that again," is replaced by "I just can't drink like I used to."

Hiya Perkins and Juliana! Sunday I'm booked with my Great Uncle and Aunt in Albany (near the North Berkley Station of the BART, I'm told--I have no idea where it is, aside from near a BART station) for the afternoon and dinner. It'll probably end pretty early, though, at they're both in their upper 80s. I'm getting in around 7:30 Saturday evening, flight plans willing, which I guess means getting checked in and whatnot by 9-9:30 at the Weston on Powell St.
If this sort of schedule meshes with yours I'd love to meet up with you and any other Bayistas for a drink.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Maybe a brunch on Sunday, depending on when you have to go to Albany? Sunday evening is harder for me.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I could make a brunch on Sunday, I think.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Hey, my church is in North Berkeley right near the BART station! Can Matilda and I tag along, at least for coffee? (Money and grandparent-visiting duties may preclude anything longer, but it'd be great to meet you F2F even if only just to slurp caffeine and run)

Our wings are not tired.
If something is set up for Sunday morning in Berkeley, I'd love to come, too.

Brunch sounds great! I have an affinity group meeting at the Hilton (conference venue) until 10 am (that's how I was able to swing the extra day in San Francisco), but I can probably be free after that until 3ish, especially if there's a good brunch place at the North Berkeley end of things. JZ, I'd love to meet you and Matilda, too. And P-C, Julianna, and Perkins.
I love conferences!
eta: and javachik!
Clearly San Francisco is the place to be. Smonster's been saying that for a while.

I don't know anything about brunch places in Berkeley. Anyone have suggestions?
