I kinda hate you guys for going to Purple (Purple!) without me but I'm glad I got to see pics of the interior. What was the food like?

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

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Our cutie-pie server was well rewarded for her excellent work.
Laga, I only had dessert (a wee vanilla bean creme brulee) but it was excellent.

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!
Very hard to pass wine across the table, though!
I want to go there again some time for wine + sweets.

The food is marvelous, Laga. Did anyone have the caramel truffles? Homemade caramels covered in dark chocolate with a sprinkle of seat salt HMOGSOPOLARBEARINGGOOD!! and I'm not a big dessert person.

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

Yes. Yes, they were.

In a bizarre buffista coincidence, I went to the one out by my friend's place on the same day. Best BLT(A) ever.

Jilli and Fay did. They were sat next to each other and you should have seen their faces! We still have one of the caramel because Fay couldn't finish them. We'd probably eat it today but apart from the flowers people gave Jilli, she also received a large supply of cupcakes.

TCG and I shared them, and I second your reaction.

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...
Heh, I just found out that the 3 signed copies weren't ever out on sale and the other two were tucked away on the shelves. There were actually people looking for copies who couldn't get them, so effectively, we did indeed SELL OUT!
Excellent.
