I have come to terms with the fact that I have no willpower when it comes to hanging with Buffistas, so I'm staying home this weekend. *sigh*
Curses! She's on to us.
Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

F2F5: I forget that everyone isn't us
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

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

Seriously. I will say "oh, I'm going to go and have one drink, because I want to save money to blow on dinner" and low and behold, I have three drinks! and still blow money on dinner, because I'm on vacation, dammit!!

Yeah, this F2F I basically gave myself permission to not think about money at all, and do what I pleased. It worked out OK, as I ended up mostly using cash, but the expenses of going in the first place (air fare, hotel, etc.) put a serious dent in my credit card.
I figure I can probably get away with this once a year. I think next time (since the F2F will be east coast next year), I need to hit San Francisco.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Speaking of next year....
When does it get here again?

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
Unless I'm out of a job next year, I'm going to do my damnedest to be there!

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
When does it get here again?If by "here" you mean Central time zone (is MI in Central??) I think that's two years time. I believe next year is east coast.
Unless I'm out of a job next year, I'm going to do my damnedest to be there!This year was my first, and I highly recomend. If for nothing else, just to put faces to names, and hear voices, so when reading the board, you can hear the party all year round. I can now infer what Fay's face would be like when she says some things (usually blushing, but, hey, if it was anything else, it wouldn't be Fay, and we love her just the way she is!).

I was at the first one in Evanston and last year's in Madison, but I definitely want to get out and meet more Buffistas I have yet to meet!! I really miss meeting Fay and everyone else in Seattle, which is one of my favorite cities, but all this talk about people now being broke would have been quadrupled if it were me (I'm broke and I didn't even go to Seattle!).

All is well that ends in pizza.
Windsparrow has suggested we get a special savings account at our credit union for F2F.
Hmm, if Andi and I put aside $20 each from our paychecks, in 10 months we'll have a $800 kitty for the east coast F2f...

I meant here as in time-wise for the East Coast.
