Awww, Tep. I'm sorry.
You and Tim are overdue for a San Francisco trip anyway. We'll get you two out here sometime this year, and you can stay in the Garden Apartment.

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

David, I'll hug you extra the next time I see you.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, Tep, that’s awful. Staying home does seem like the best bad choice but it sucks rope.

Also, I should mention that someone (Vortex) has a birthday tomorrow. Not sure if she has plans yet.
I have plans for dinner, but thought maybe people would like to come to the rooftop bar at the Line afterwards?
I'm in room 319 at the Line. I've texted Laura and Brenda in case anyone wants to hang out or grab a beverage. I think that Maria gets in late, like 11:30

Vortex! Went up to the rooftop with Brenda to see if you happened to be there. Back in our rooms now. Since I am in 419 I'll stomp on the floor to say hi! Phone number in profile.

I'll be staying at the Grand Hyatt at SFO. I get in late tonight so will see people tomorrow! Since I am staying so south of the City, I will be wearing the same thing all day tomorrow so will likely be a little less dressed up than everyone else. Sunday I will be spending with my family, visiting my uncle who just entered hospice. I have a redeye Sunday night. Quick trip!
If I get in on time tonight, and have any energy, I'll text Vortex to see if people are hanging out on a roof or bar somewhere and come join you.
I have had terrible experiences using Flywheel but love Curb. I try to avoid Uber and the like, especially in SF. (I will say though that when I lived in Oakland I had a very hard time getting taxis and had to use Uber often.)

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Re-posting my earlier call for dining companions tonight!
My flight gets in at 7:30 so I'm estimating I'll be at the hotel around 9 - anyone around for a late dinner? Or suggestions for food near the Majestic?

Steph, I am so sorry. I hope you're feeling better today.
I have plans to casually see some places today (candy store to get traditional sweet gifts for people and colleagues), visit the Presidio, and see what people are planing here to join in on lunch/dinner/other activities.
Let me know if anyone would like to hang out today. I'm also here on Sunday, and starting my travel back home on Monday morning.

My GI tract is still rebellious today, and I think I passed it on to Tim, which confirms it's likely contagious. I talked to my mom yesterday, crying a little about staying home, and she said "Your friends will still love you if you have to stay home, but they might have a harder time loving you if you give them the shits." (She has quite a way with words.) But it's true -- I wouldn't want to have passed this on. I'm super grateful the memorial will be live-streamed.
