She has also never done it before!

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.
Crossword friends, I sent an email about dinner Friday to whatever email I had in my contact list, so lmk if you didn't get it!
I just installed Whatsapp on my phone and laptop to join the group. I've apparently never installed it despite Brendon using it to coordinate with programmers and basketball players. I thought I installed it a long time ago, and yet it wasn't there.
Can’t wait!
LA area Buffistas! I've just been approved to attend a conference in Anaheim Oct 27-30. I'm thinking about extending my trip on one end or the other to get some people time in.
We would love to see you! If you could extend after (into Halloween weekend), that would give us time to hang out. I would offer our guest room, but there's a good possibility our renovation will be in process at that point, so I don't want to promise what may not be available.
Minus-t Tour 2026 will be 4/16-5/16!
Current Plan - hop on the Coast Starlight on Thursday night, get to Portland or Seattle on Friday; maybe stay overnight, Empire Builder to Chicago, another possible overnight, City of New Orleans to NOLA hoping to arrive Wednesday 4/22
I have a room at Maison St Charles with 2 beds if anyone wants to come down and share a room
Lineup highlights include Jon Batiste, Big Freedia, Ani DiFranco, David Byrne, Stevie Nicks, Bruce Hornsby, Kermit Ruffins, Irma Thomas, Leftover Salmon and the New Orleans Klezmer All Stars (I decided on weekend 1 mostly because the timing is easier for me but I think I like the lineup better than weekend 2 also)
Leaving Monday morning 4/27 probably on the Crescent bound for New York, whether I will go the whole way or not, who knows? Passes through Atlanta, Spartanburg, Charlotte, DC, Baltimore, Philly, various other places.
I think I need to take this opportunity to ride an Acela to Boston, where I have never been
Which still leaves 5 or 6 segments to sort out, ideally getting home on or about 5/16. Maybe Montreal for bagels?
OK, Montreal not actually included in US pass, so probably not. Perhaps Maine where I have also never been? Savannah? San Antonio? Somewhere where I actually know people?
If you are near a train station and would let me crash on a couch for a night we can probably make that happen
