I am, btw, settled at Maison St Charles until Monday, have unpacked and put stuff in drawers and everything. I’m right by the pool which I will probably not use but I guess it’s nice to theoretically have the option. This place is more of a compound than a building, it may take up the whole block. Pretty nice room for being in my price range, although there are not very many outlets and I could use a stepladder to get on the beds (not provided, I’ll just have to jump or something). I do want to go walk around the neighborhood but I’m super tired so I will probably just shower and change and eat at the attached Mr Ed’s. We’ll see how early I wake up tomorrow, the Fest doesn’t start until 11, I can probably get some nostalgic wandering in
Dawn: I think a date should be in a real fancy restaurant, then champagne at a night club with a floor show, then ballroom dancing. Joyce: Unfortunately, we're not dating in a movie from the thirties.

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

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Very preliminary googling shows that there's a free 50-acre garden in Silver Spring/Wheaton -- Brookside Garden [link] Tons of good restaurants around, so the world is your oyster. Depending on weather, obvi.
I'll check for other options, too. It'll be like a "check out your own local area day... " I'm never in Silver Spring.
