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.

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

Actually, Juliana, I'm really bothered by the dates in the poll. I know it lists the dates as non-binding, but having people vote for a location and then switching up the dates just seems wrong. I don't suppose there's much that can be done, but given that one of the main talking points for having the F2F in the PNW, was that the weather would allow for a later event to allow all the teacher peeps to attend, it's a frustrating set of dates.

Sorry, being a pest. One of those "get it off my chest" moments. I was just irked by the fact that the poll required me to choose one of those dates when my answer would have been "none of the above".

God, Pete is just So Damned Hot. Also adorable.

(Which isn't intended to be a pile-on-Juliana thing, 'cause I totally appreciate the whole setting-up-a-poll thing, and offering to be point person, and I realise that this isn't All About Me, and Juliana is foamy & Go Team & all that! Um. Just - word on the whole Seattle in July thing.)

Our wings are not tired.

I'm upset that I missed meeting Aurelia tonight. I hope Perkins passed the news about my horrid day?

I am still in the office.

I appear to have successfully restored the database back to Friday night at midnight, and then in the last 6 hours managed to re-do all of the work that I did this weekend.

One more final pass through a 10% spot check by my crew in the morning, and it might actually ship tomorrow.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

We were sad to have missed you too, Java.

I am so taking you to celebrate once this does ship.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I'm sorry I missed you too, Java. And doubly sorry that it was due to work suckage. Let me know if you want to see a show Thursday or Friday. I'm sure I could get you in.

ION, I am working in a hemp house! Old school! Old school with wireless!

Seeing a show on Thursday would be awesome! Also, since the behemoth is finally shipping TODAY, I am taking Thursday off and am going to be downtown on Thursday for a Noon lecture (at the Commonwealth Club), so maybe we could meet for coffee or something before or after? I hafta meetya!

Hey, as I recall, Perkins is coming to DC. I was crazy busy during the planning stages, can someone fill me in on the details?

I am! You had some email at the vortex account about that.

I get there Wednesday 10/29, leaving Tuesday 11/4, with a side trip to Baltimore on Saturday.

We were thinking Bistrot du Coin on Sunday for a group dinner, I think.

I also pinged MFNLaw, and she wasn't sure about making it on Sunday but thought maybe Monday would work for her for an additional dinner.
