My plans are still rather up in the air. As seen in Natter, my sister and I came out to see my aunt who just entered hospice, but we didn't get a chance to talk to my uncle before flying out here.
I'd love to see you, Consuel, and anyone else I'm able to. Maybe -t?
I just talked to my uncle and he's invited my sister and I to stay at their place in Lafayette instead of this cheap hotel in Oakland. And my aunt's hospice is in Alamo. So I might be able to drive out to Oakland tomorrow night. I'll have to see how tomorrow goes.
I'll email you tomorrow.
You may not even have to drive: you can take BART from Lafayette to downtown Oakland.
Anyway, let us know how it goes. I'm so sorry for your family. This part is hard.
My hope is that you are able to connect with some localistas so that they can extend the Buffista love and comfort in person. {tommyrot}
I have rehearsal in Richmond tonight, depending on timing I might be able to join
I have a late work dinner tonight in Palo Alto and am headed to. the Giants game Friday night.
I am glad you're out here but I am so sorry for the reason.
I can probably do dinner tonight in Oakland. What times would work for people? Not too late as I'm tired.
I'm sorry, tommyrot, I don't think I'll be able to make it. My rehearsal was cancelled so I can't carpool down and I am too in need of sleep to travel that far on my own tonight, I think. Keep my number handy, though, I will rally if you need support.
Well, somehow my tummy is upset and I'm really tired so I'm just going to stay in tonight.
I'm leaving early Saturday morning, so if people have other nights free, let me know. But I'll be back in the Bay Area this summer, and possibly in a few weeks for my aunt's memorial.
My fiance Sam and I will be in San Francisco from May 27th through June 1st. We're working on an itinerary, but I wanted to get Buffistas pencilled in, maybe for brunch sometime over the weekend, or dinner sometime? What works for people?
eta: Not that we're opposed to other activities. But, eating seems to be The Way of the Buffistas.
(Pssst I think you'll be in Oakland? 😬)
