Coolcool. If you want to do winter 17-18, we should talk logistics at some point. My boyfriend rents his place out on VRBO, and we'd need to block the dates you'd want to come (which should not be a problem [unless it's Iron Man] but does require doing in advance). Although, depending on the dates, you could probably just stay at my place, which is farther from the beach, but also farther from the Streets of Expensive Tourist Stuff.
Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

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

There is a small chance that I'll be on the Big Island next summer, Juneish.

Liese! Are you still planning to come through Nashville sometime soon?

Cool, Liese! Let me know!

LA Buffistas, I am tentatively planning a vacation to your fair city the first week in November. Does anyone have an opinion on whether it's worth it to stay at the Magic Castle Hotel for access to dining at the private club?
Also, would anyone be interested in meeting up for dinner or doing touristy things? (I'm determined to visit Griffith Observatory, and thinking about a day at the beach or a theme park.)

Ann, that's a ferret.
We won't be there, but for a day at the beach in LA, may I recommend Santa Monica and its pier? Very enjoyable (if a little touristy), and Venice Beach is walking distance with just a little effort.

If you are here on Nov 4th or 5th, Halloween Horror Nights will still be running at Universal Studios, and my other fun show Wicked Lit will still be running at Mountainview Mausoleum.

Also we'd love to see you, Matt. I know I'll be gone Nov. 9-13, but before then I'm around. Good to know -- I tend to be pretty useless on school nights since (with my commute) I am busy 6 am - 6 pm. We are on the other side of the city, so I wouldn't be able to meet you on the Westside (Santa Monica and area), but if you do come this way (Griffith etc), I'll make it work!

I'll be around too, Matt. I've never stayed at the Magic Castle, just went for drinks, so don't know what it would be like to stay there.

I think the hotel is a separate adjacent location from the actual castle, just affiliated. But I found a different hotel that also provides club access for almost $70 less a night (I'd just be giving up having a pool, which may not be a factor at all in November if it's in the 50s to 70s). I probably won't pin down lodging and flights for at least another week or so, but I'm looking at arriving on 11/3 and leaving 11/7.
I've got to give first right of refusal on at least one day to a friend from Sweden (AKA The One Who Got Away) whose visit coincides with mine, but my schedule overall should be pretty flexible. I definitely want to hang out with you guys if possible.
