Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

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

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Hey I'm in Chicago in early May for the Nebulas, no idea of my schedule yet, but hi.

I should be free in the evenings and on the weekend. I'd love to see you!

Do nominees get put up at the Palmer House?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I'll be in Chicago for work Thursday, April 28, but I won't know until (hopefully) later this week whether I'll actually even be free for drinks/dinner. There may be a work dinner that would eat up my free time, but they haven't decided on that yet. And then I fly home the next day.

So once I know something conclusive, I'll post again.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

I'll be in Long Beach the 24th - 28th! Not sure my schedule though.

Hey Brenda, did you get my email of cool things to see/do in Long Beach? Just making sure I wasn't dumped into the spam filter.

I did! You are awesome to pull that together. If anyone is up for drinks or dinner in that area on Sunday night let me know. I know you're tied up, boo.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

brenda! I spaced! I am in town, current plan is for LAistas to meet up at 6pm at Bacaro [link] Sunday the 24th.

I fb messaged some of you, but if you didn't get it, please accept my apologies, and let Kat know if you can make it!

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

brenda, I messed up the dates, so I am no longer free on Friday night, but I can definitely make myself available on Saturday if you're interested.

My schedule's gone all wonky anyway. I may not have the free time I thought. I'll send you a text if anything changes but not sure yet. Sorry to be so flaky!

No worries. That's the magic of having a friend who's an introvert. I'd love to see you and hang out, but staying home can sometimes be its own treat! (Plus, I have a plan B if we don't make plans). Anyway, yes, it would be awesome to hang out, but if your schedule refuses to be controlled, I understand.

Teppy, if you do have time I might be able to get away from tech during the dinner break (5:30 or 6ish).

Aurelia, I do have a work dinner, but I don't know what time. Basically, we have a meeting until 4:30 or 5, and then at some point dinner. I don't know if it will be soon after the meeting (like 6), or later. If it's later than 6, I could meet you after the meeting ends. I'll just have to post here tomorrow when I know.
