Inara: So, explain to me again why Zoe wasn't in the dress? Mal: Tactics, woman. Needed her in the back. 'Sides, those soft cotton dresses feel kinda nice. It's the whole... air-flow.

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

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!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

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.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Will do, DebetEsse. Yeah, Kate, I got sick so I pushed it. Looking like it'll be early November. You guys be around? Also, my Cinci peeps, I might be looking at you, maybe Novmeber 13th ish?

OK, I am definitely booked into the Magic Castle for Nov. 4th, 5th, and 6th. They've advised me that weekend reservations fill up fast (that Saturday is already limited to the 9:45pm seating, in fact). Is anyone game for dinner and a (magic) show one of those nights?

I have to verify with ND, but I think we'd be game for Nov. 4th dinner and magic!

Cool! There's a cover in the evenings ($30 I think), but my understanding is dinner reservations include priority seating for the main stage show, and guests can remain in the club all evening to catch the smaller shows going on throughout.

I also have a few friends that are members of the Magic Castle, they might be able to hook us up.

Sorry, Liese, I thought I responded to you but I guess I didn't! Yes, we'll be around in early November. I don't think we have any out-of-town plans between mid-October and Christmas.
