I feel obligated to report (in a good way!), that a rare F2F took place today. Nilly and I finally met. It's been over four years since the last time that happened.
Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?
'Shells'
F2F5: I forget that everyone isn't us
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

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

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, hey, I potentially have free time to see people while Kate and tommyrot are out this way! I have a performance Saturday evening in Alameda if anyone wants to see that, but the important part is I will not be practicing all the damn time afterwards so maybe I can be social!

I'll be around when Kate and tommyrot are visiting, so I'd like to know if any plans are afoot!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
It's a long way off, but MARK YOUR CALENDARS, looks like I will be in NYC next year May 29 to June 4. Part of that time is college reunion so booked out, but several days are free. I plan to go see at least two shows, so nights might be out.
Bonus opportunity for anyone interested in crashing on a foldout couch. The place I should have booked by end of today if not tomorrow is a 1 br apartment, so I could share with another out of towner.

NYC and Philly are super close msbelle.
West coast (San Diego, SF, Portland, Seattle) - keep the week of 10/15 in mind? I'm doing a lightning thing with a couple people. NOVA- I'll be in your area for a book festival on 10/14... augh I should just make up an events page probably. Hmmm.
Also if you're near Philly on 9/26 there will be cupcakes and a new book at B&N Rittenhouse

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
OK, I'm finally ready to make some plans! First off, should we pick a night next week to try to get a group together for dinner? Looks like it would potentially be the Zmayhem, juliana, tommyrot, Java cat, -t, and shrift. Anyone else? How about Thursday night, since that looks like the one night juliana could make it?
Second, what should we see while we're in town? A partial listing of things we tend to like would include: art/architecture, weird museums, historical/literary landmarks, walking tours, good food, adult drinks, ice cream.
Kate ACK I wanna see you but I leave the Tuesday on a three week trip! Do not like.
Boo!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Thursday night is ok with me. I've been busy and stressed so I have no detailed plans yet so anytime is ok with me.

Epic, SD may be a restaurant event with Kevin Hearne co-hosted by MG ^^ but it may mean tickets.
