I need to make my hotel reservations, but I already have my plane tickets, so I'll be there from Thursday (Friday AM probably) through Sunday.

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

Well, I have leave time approved. yay!
Any advice on good places to get cheap (or less expensive) plane tickets? I fly so rarely, I don't know which ones are good these days.

Toddson, look at farecast.com as they will run checks via a variety of online merchants as well as judging whether it's a good time to buy.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
My librarian friend, on Seattle:
Go to the downtown library! Tell me what you think of it! Take pictures of as many pig statues as you find because for some reason there are a lot of them in Seattle. Do not go to the EMP, it is not worth the money. Go to the outdoor sculpture park down by the water front, just down from Pike's Market, as it is cool.
The most important thing of all: go on my aunt's coffee tour! She takes people on a tour of various coffee places in Seattle, you do a tasting and she tells you fun things about Seattle along the way. Go to seattlebyfoot.com to find the details. Tell all your friends, as we don't want the other woman who copied her tour to get all the customers.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Any advice on good places to get cheap (or less expensive) plane tickets?Kayak.com is helpful too. Search engine. And they can trigger some of the other search engines too.

Go to the downtown library!
That won't be difficult. It's kitty corner to the hotel.
The EMP may not be worth it (opinions vary) but the adjacent Science Fiction Museum is.

Our wings are not tired
The Science Fiction Museum is quite fun. The EMP should be struck by and EMP.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm determined to go to the Science Fiction Museum. Jim Henson's Fantastic World!
I am intrigued by the coffee tour.
I'll have to visit the REI mothership while I'm up there. May need to schedule an extra day for that...

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
-t, I was thinking about visiting REI too. It looks like an easy walk from the Space Needle.
