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

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

And the damage is done. It'll always be known as the SLUT so their attempts to change it are doubly feeble.

I am reminded Tesco's decision to rename Spotted Dick "Spotted Richard".

I mean, yes, okay, dick, ho ho - but it's so totally well-known that mostly you don't think "Penis! Penis! Ho ho ho!" ...until you find yourself staring at "Spotted Richard", think "WTF???" and then make a mental translation, and then think "OMGWTFSPOTTEDPENIS!"

As successful renaming ventures go, it's akin to Dick Van Dyke deciding to change his name to Richard Van WomanWithComfortableShoes.

...All of which is a verbose way of saying that I'd love to ride the SLUT in Seattle.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

And Juliana, I hope you won't take my description of Port Townsend as offensive, especially since I used the same term for my own town.

Oh, heck no. I've not even been there, I just think it's hilarious that he was mayor.

Oh, hey. We were going to do a poll or somesuch, right? I'll get to that today.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Riding the SLUT? Muppet exhibit at the Sci Fi museum? I am *so* down with Seattle. Plus, the only other time I've been it was a freaky 97 degree day and Plei and Jilli and I spent the day moving as quickly as possible between air-conditioned shops, then had ice cream w/ my friend Judy. Which was a lovely day, but I'd like to go back.

I also adore Portland.

And, hey, Fay - I've got a friend in the US foreign service whose next post is Thailand... I just might have to see if I could swing a trip. When's a good time to visit, keeping in mind that I do pretty well with humid heat?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I'm kind of chuffed because, whatever we decide, it's looking like this will be the first F2F in a city I've never been to (or even lived in) before.

Hey Brenda, insent.

I'm creating a poll for possible dates - I put in all the weekends of June (observing that June 19-21 covers Juneteenth, Father's Day, and Solstice), and the last weekend of May. Any other dates that I should put in?

And do we want to ask a question about Seattle vs. Portland, or should we leave that until voting time?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

If we have it on Juneteenth, that's my birthday!

Ahem.

I mean, bah. Father's day. Who needs it, right?

When is Memorial day in 2009? Is it not the weekend of the 31st?

It is not, it is the 25th.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Maybe include early July as well, in case May/June dates don't work for our Buffista teachers.

[edit - oops, too late!]
