In case anyone's plans change, P-C and I will be meeting Kat at Le Cheval in downtown Oakland at 6:30. Just send me an email, and I'll add you to the reservation.

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

I wish I could make it (just received your email, megan), but I have to go pick my dogs up after work tomorrow night and get them some exercise before I drive the 40 miles home and crash. I look forward to meeting Kat on one of her next trips! And I heartily endorse Le Cheval!

Aw, I've never been to La Cheval, though I hear it's great. Unfortunately, despite the OTC remedies I have been steadily ingesting, I am at tat unfortunate stage when laughter sets off a coughing fit. And if there's one thing I can be sure of, meeting buffistas will be an occasion of laughter.
I hope I get another chance to meet you before too long, kat! Meanwhile, I am very much enjoying your blog.

What a shame--I WAS in Oakland, and I'm leaving out of the Oakland AIRPORT shortly...just missing Kat! :)

Aww, I missed meara and -t and beth and javachick. Spectacularly bad timing on my part.
But also spectacularly good timing because I just got to have coffee with Java cat and Connie, both of whom are crazy cool women and lovely to hang out with on a brisk July day. Connie and I got to see Java cat's postcards from the F2F with my favorite being the cowboy hot tub, though they were all pretty fab. And just in general a good time was had by . . . well, me at least. Thanks for hanging out. And tonight I will see megan and PC which rocks.

I had a great lunch with libkitty today and she showed me where she works. I'm pretty sure she wins the prize for workplace with the best view.

It was wonderful to meet Kat in person! and see consuela again. Good stories, good catching up, some mild F2F gossip, good times.
I'm so jealous of you ND! I keep threatening to go visit libkitty and not doing it... one of these days I will and oh boy do I want to see that area. And libkitty, too, of course, with whom I always have a most excellent time.

Speedy ND! Well, slow me for posting. Work. Meetings. Sigh.
Seeing Buffistas is always wonderful, but it was extra fun to see ND here, in my hometown.
I think we probably made a pretty funny looking pair. We've been having a heat wave, at least for Juneau, but I don't really have all that many work-appropriate, hot-weather clothes, so there I was in ratty capris, a light top and sandals, while ND was wearing a jacket!
I had a great time. ND looked just like his pictures, only better. And he was even more fun and interesting than I had expected. He treated me for lunch, and we even had a little time for me to show him around, which I always love.
Next week: Kristin!
