Are you polling for interest, Java? I think I have the same prob Laura does.
My other general thought is that it sounds complicated WRT arrangements, honestly, but I know I have a reduced tolerance for planning en masse as I get older, ha!
It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

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

Yep, this is my feeling, too. I think we may have moved into an age where large Buffista gatherings only happen with major events — happy ones, like weddings or visits from UnAmericanistas like Shir — or sad ones, like JZ's memorial.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Shir is in my house! We are heading into the city to walk the High Line (hopefully will meet with Tom) and then go to The Strand, will share pics on FB!

Fun!
I always send people to Tia Pol, the Spanish tapas restaurant that's near the end of the HIghline. Great croquettas.

Hello, Americans! Lovely being in your country and at Jess' place with her family.
If you have the time and the availability, I'm free for dinner in NYC on May 2nd.
Also, it's time to decide on where to stay in SF (13th-20th). I'll be commuting everywhere, arriving and leaving via SFO. If you have any suggestions for a cheap (butnot a shared dormitory cheap) place in SF that's reasonably close to commute and has 24 hours desk, let me know? Having free wifi is a bonus.

Actually, one more thing: I've been told to go and see Little Shop of Horrors. I'll be able to see it on May 1st or May 2nd, in case anyone here would like to join me.
Edit: a few hours ago I tested positive for COVID. It's very mild, I'm doing OK and at Jess', but I'm hitting pause on any plans until I'm 24 hours without fever and hopefully testing negative (and then mask everywhere and keeping my distance from people). Crossing fingers that these 24 hours are tomorrow.
Plans, y'know.

Shir has been dropped at the train station to continue on to the next leg of her NYC journey! 10/10 houseguest, would host again!

Jess and family were wonderful, even though I brought the plague to their house.
I'm at another friend in Manhattan. Tomorrow will be an office day, but on Thursday I'm free in the morning until noon and possibly for dinner as well, and if you'd like to join me and other friends at MoMA let me know. I'm adding my number in the profile and I have WhatsApp and Signal.
Plague status: 24 hours without fever were accomplished earlier. I am testing negative. Other than an occasional cough and some congestion I am OK (but still masking, of course). I'm also moving every possibile risky activity outdoors for the next 10 days and masking. And I'm still wondering where the hell I manged to catch it.
