That is just cool upon cool.
May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

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

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Yeah, I loved that place. I had dinner with my local friend on Friday, and then dragged people to it the next day for lunch. Well, it was really more tea time, but it was still awesome.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I've made a post about my first day or so in Seattle. There are only a few Buffista appearances, but a lot of pictures of the city from Columbia Tower.

The tower of wine has a hidden door that leads to the sommelier's desk inside.
Yup. Scola beat me to that tidbit.
Oh and... GRONK
The launch event went very well tonight. We were at standing room only and since I know the seating capacity that means we had 150 to 160 people. The store had ordered 89 copies and we sold 84 of them, leaving B&N with 3 signed store copies and 2 unsigned copies holding the fort on the now-decimated front display, right next to a display of Twilight books...
The B&N peeps were VERY pleased.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The book launch was awesome. We had somewhere between 150 and 160 people. The store had ordered 89 copies, and we sold 84 of them, leaving 3 signed store copies and 2 lonely copies holding down the fort at the now-decimated display.
That sounds wonderful! I hope all of the signings go this well.

I would love that, but we both know this is our home-turf and we're likely to see much smaller turn-outs elsewhere.
Still, we can hope.
Spread the word!

Wow, that's awesome! Sadly, I didn't make it because I fell asleep. Erm. Stupid 5AM wakeup call after a weekend of buffistaness, and stupid Ironman in Coeur d'Alene that meant I had to sit in the Spokane airport and wasn't able to get an earlier flight back and take a real nap...argh.
Not that I'm disputing the above (meara knows me too well!), but was this in reference to the Gordian Knot of Naked Men?
No, no, I think it was in reference to Jilli knowing gay men in Seattle for you, and lamenting you not moving here. And I was like "Dude. Introduce them, he will travel!"

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
I sort of recall that being correct. There were about fifteen conversations going on at any given time, but I remember that because someone jumped up to put it on the board.
Purple was really great; on Sunday the remaining Buffistas collected together en masse and walked in to the restaurant at 5. "We have twenty people," Juliana (I think) said, "and one child."
Amazing Hostess Lady: "Oh, well, we have a meeting table upstairs. Seats 25. Would that be okay?"
All of Us: "!!!!"
It was seriously an amazing table. We could all *look* at each other and converse without craning necks or wandering to separate tables! We could have put a person in the middle and covered that person with tasty food, it was so big!
