Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

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

Yes, I think that's what I was meaning when I said there was a shuttle-y thing that went to downtown hotels! :) Thanks dcp!

They have a counter alllllll the way down at the end of the baggage claim, but it's pretty obvious once you walk all the way down there.

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

Hotel update: We are at 33 room nights - they extended the block to be Thursday-Saturday. The deadline for reserving within the guaranteed block is May 26, which is not the deadline for the 40-room minimum.

Has anyone who is planning to come not made their reservation??

Funds update: we are at $1100. They will be charging my card on June 15 for the estimated total, and then will charge any remainder after the event. That being the case, I would really love to have all of the funds by June 15.

Thanks to everyone who has sent in and made their reservations!!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

juliana, I've done a bit of eBaying and will send you my chunk as soon as I've done a bit more (and if anyone knows anyone who likes vintage bathing suits and would like to bid on a '40s suit in near-perfect condition, let me know and I'll post a link when it's up).

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

That being the case, I would really love to have all of the funds by June 15.

How much are we estimating per person, again?

Our wings are not tired

I think it was around $50 PC. Usually those folks who can afford send more to help cover the folks who are really struggling to pull together enough cash to attend.

JZ - we can also meet up for coffee whenever.

$40-50, depending on how many attend.

Woo! Yay Todd!

I finally broke down and bought my other ticket from SF to Seattle. I kept trying to find a sale or a promo code, and ended up spending $50 more than if I'd just bought the damned thing. Grrr.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

I'm going to be in the hotel on Saturday with miz meara, who's booked our room. But I will be coming up on the train Thursday night, leaving Monday evening.

Is that 33 with the extended? Great job on getting them to count those nights too. That will make the difference! So with Toddson 3 nights, that is now 36, ya? (I think I worked too many telethons and listened to too many pledge drives for local npr's. It's like a sport or something, "we only need 4 more, you can do it!") Ugg, I annoy myself sometimes.
