F2F5: I forget that everyone isn't us

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

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Group manicure? Weird, I was thinking about doing my nails for this trip since they seem to be growing for the first time in ages.

sorry ... I'm exertion and outdoors averse (one time I somehow got on the mailing list for a sample copy of Outdoor magazine ... I told a friend and she laughed so hard she choked). Something nice and indoors-y ... maybe a bead store?

Friday's usually ultra casual and a "see what happens" sort of affair. I usually spend it hanging out in the suite waiting tsay hi and give the traditional Buffista greeting. At some point, people stagger out for food. I'm planning on walking over to Pikes place chowder for lunch, since it's a madhouse in weekends.

At some point, people stagger out for food. I'm planning on walking over to Pikes place chowder for lunch, since it's a madhouse in weekends.

That sounds like a good idea, aside from the chowder part (unless it's corn chowder), but I'm sure there are plentiful options.

If the local-istas are planning things (or even just contemplating planning), that would be helpful to know to determine what's the what.

ooh ... you haven't seen my hair! yes, I changed it two years ago, but I haven't been to a F2F since.

We'll be getting in on Thursday and will be up for doing something on Friday.

Can anyone recommend a good place to go for oysters? Are they good in Seattle? I'm assuming they would be, but I have run across weirder things in my life. I think Friday would be a good day to sit outside with a cool beer and oysters.

Also, I've got the official "SNOG" shirt in my possession and since I'm not coming in until Friday noon, I figure it would be good to pass it on to someone who will be around on Thursday to start greeting people with it. Any takers?

If anyone is a big fan of fresh salmon and can afford it, head over to Pike Place Market before you leave and get a fish with travel packing to take home. My sister and I did this several years ago when we were coming home and brought back two fish (one for each parent)--it cost around $50 for the cooler and dry ice, but we were able to check it on the plane.
