We have lovely frozen custard right here in northern Illinois.
The place is open seasonally - although they keep extending the season.
Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

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

Oh, I am supposed to pass on the message from my pet DJ that he is Very Cross with you people that Prom will be keeping me away from the usual Saturday night gothy club. But that he understands, and hopes we all have fun.
You should invite any appropriate folk, I would think. Though I suspect the DJ has obligations.

OK, my current list for Friday dinner @ Wild Ginger is:
Toddson
Dana & DH
Zenkitty
Erin
SailAweigh
sj & TCG
Is that it? That makes nine, so even with the reservation we might be able to squeeze a tenth in. I'll hold off on calling for a few just in case, but it will be in an hour or so that I'll make the attempt.

I would like to do Wild Ginger (me+DH, that is) if I still can and don't make the group too big.

Frankenbuddha, you might want to check availability at Wild Ginger now. I think that place gets pretty full.

We HAS RESERVATIONS for 11 people on Friday at 5:30. So that includes T + DH's last minute request.
I suspect we MIGHT be able to squeak in a 12th, but I can't guarantee.
I will call in Thursday to confirm, since I don't entirely trust my cell phone coverage once I'm in Seattle. If anyone needs to drop out, please post it here, but I really won't be able to check in much on Thursday - if it's Friday,maybe substitutes can be found. I don't do the laptop/travel computer thingee, so I may check in from work briefly (since I plan on dropping bags there for the day, even though I'm not working, technically).

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Awesome. Thanks, Frank.

I suspect they may have a big table, and the economy what it is, they may not have had anyone for it, especially at that early an hour.
We'll need to plan a meet-up strategy for sure, even if it's at the bar there. It's not a terribly long walk from the hotel, unless I'm mistaken.
ETA Warning: my definition of "not a terribly long walk" may not be everyone's.

BTW has anyone heard from Vortex recently? Among other things, she was compiling everybody's contact info to send out, and I haven't seen anything on it, nor seen her in this thread.
