I believe a lot more trains go to Staples Mill. Just keep me posted.
Illyria: Wesley's dead. I'm feeling grief for him. I can't seem to control it. I wish to do more violence. Spike: Well, wishes just happen to be horses today.

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

Great, thank you!

Throwing it out that BWI as a stop in Baltimore on the way to DC might garner a few Balto. Buffistas, and I could certainly go to Baltimore for a visit, dinner, whatever. I mean, and hang in DC, too, but if maximizing seeing people is a plan, think about a Balto. stop!

Was planning on Baltimore already! DC is more of a hub so I will definitely pass through there, but I should be able to arrange things so I'm in Baltimore for longer. Or take some other transit between DC and Baltimore, that might be the practical option

Yay CT! Im about 45 minutes from Java (in Hartford), so would love to see you! I'm also about 90 minutes from Stamford if that's easier for you.

Yay! Looks like I will be there for a few days at least so we should be able to get together somewhere! I’ll be in and out of the Stamford station, mostly, but also might be able to get around by car so many possibilities!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'm about an hour from Stamford or NYC!

OK, I have learned that my nephew in Silver Springs (I think? Somewhere between DC and Baltimore I'm pretty sure) has gotten engaged so I'm trying to work with his schedule to get some quality family time which I *think* is helping with nailing down the rest of my plans.
I'm thinking: get to Richmond (RVR) 2pm on 4/29. Have dinner with Dana. Head to Baltimore (BWI? possibly BAL? I don't know which is better) either 5:30 ish pm or 6am the next morning (really up to you, Dana, noting that I think I am pretty good about getting myself out of the house and to the train early in the morning without disturbing the household but I am not sure I could provide testimonials to that effect). Which gets me to Baltimore either 9pm Wednesday or 9am Thursday, either way with all day Thursday to hopefully (a) meet up with people (b) see some sights and (c) eat crabcakes (and whatnot, but definitely some crabcakes). Perhaps drink some beer? Why do I have "beer" associated with Baltimore in my head, is that a thing?
How's that sound? Improvements I should make, necessary changes, something I totally forgot but must include?

I mean, I personally would not want to catch a 6AM train, but if you'd rather spend the night, that's no problem.
