You are all delightful, each and every one. Dinner tonight was an absolute treat.
Wash: You want a slinky dress? I can buy you a slinky dress. Captain, can I have money for a slinky dress? Jayne: I'll chip in. Zoe: I can hurt you.

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.
Packing is exciting. Unpacking is depressing.
Yeah that's why I'm not doing it. I'm also looking at everyone's photostreams in reverse order.
I loved watching this in the lobby.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I cannot see Scola's photos. Woe.
Do we need to send you an invite?
ETA: nope, you are in the pool. Huh.
Up in middle of night, not sure why you can't see them.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I cannot see Scola's photos. Woe.
Are you trying to view Scola's pics directly? If that is not working, have you tried going to the Buffistas group photo pool?

I am home. I am tired. I am afraid to nap or sleep for fear that I will not be able to sleep tonight. And I want Seattle weather back. It's 69 degrees (expected high of 82) and 82% humidity. Do not want, polar bear.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Am home now. Not a bad flight. It definitely felt less arduous than the trip out, despite the two initially noisy kids right behind my row (they passed out early, thank god). Didn't sleep a whole lot, but I've had worse nights sleeping in my own bed.
I already miss Seattle, and the buffistas more. My only regret is not getting to say proper goodbyes to some of the folks, especially Brenda and Sail since we rode to the airport together, but I never spotted them after check in/security, and their flight didn't seem to be posted yet. Hope they got away OK.
More later when I can post anything coherent, but I had a blast.
ETA, ok, Sail made it. I hope that means Brenda made her connection for her train OK.

I did! Fortunately the plane got in early so it was all fine. And I am now back in Chicago to find that summer has finally arrived. Yay!

Plei, you and I have to attend one of these things at the same time again someday,and pose together wearing velvety irridescence.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Landed in Newark, fell asleep on train to City, fell asleep on subway uptown. Dropped bag, walked dog, changed clothes, slept on subway to work... this is going to be a VEEEEERY long day.
Next year, a weeklong F2F. With Prom night babysitters.
Laura Holt has mentioned in the past doing such a thing at Otter Lake, It would be FANTASTIC. And we'd have the Prom on Saturday so people who could only come for the weekend could attend.

Our wings are not tired.
Otter Lake is a little shy on prom sites, and chilly. Buffistas always welcome though. I've often toyed with the idea of having a Buffista Thanksgiving in Delray Beach for people that wanted an excuse to not be available for other kinds of family gatherings. Will have to consider that one again.
I've loved all the pictures! Not offering any sympathy for Monday morning gronk for those that had the joy of attending the F2F.
