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.

We have a thing the afternoon of 10/21 but maybe we could come down that evening? Must discuss with J. Are you staying with your Auntie M?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

We'd like to make the event in NoVa, but my parents will be in town and we'll have to see if a) they're interested and b) if we can actually get ourselves there in time for your thing.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

sob, I will be heading for the beach on the day of the Richmond event for which I would otherwise absolutely drive up, so obviously you need to escape to the wonderfully deserted off-season possibly chilly or possibly still totally hot and muggy ever-windy outer banks with meeeee.

Now I want to go to the Outer Banks! My favorite place.

This week, I got to smish an EpicTangent, a t, a Consuela, a Jilli and the Looming One, a Barb, a Plei and DH AND a Tickybox (who asks the most amazing questions). This was the best possible thing. Thank you so much to everyone who ventured out in heat and smoke and fog and rain, I loved seeing you in person and will continue to smish your pixels until I can smish no more.

Seeing reports of Buffista smishing is always a delight! So good to hear that you were able to see each other.

Sad to report that my hopes of a stopover in Richmond on my way south to Florida won't happen this weekend. The construction project that was supposed to take 2-4 weeks has now extended to 6 weeks and I won't be able to head south for at least a few more days. A hippocampus F2F will happen someday! Just not this weekend.

Hey Boston friends - I'm sad to say I won't be heading your way on Thursday ... I'm under the weather and needed to reschedule -

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I'm sorry you're not feeling well, hippocampus. I couldn't figure out how to make this Thursday work, but hopefully I'll be able to figure something out when you reschedule. Feel better!
