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!).
Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.
'Serenity'
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.

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...

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I meant here as in time-wise for the East Coast.

Well, the F2F was a month or so later than usual, so it may be closer than you think.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Ah, fuck! Jilli, according to the Dark Horse page:
6:00 – 7:00 The Umbrella Academy: Gerard Way & Gabriel Ba (* ticketed event: See Dark Horse employee for details)
So I don't know how that works. I'll stop by the Dark Horse booth on Wednesday and let you know.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
all this talk of broke reminded me, I got paid today, so I can pay some more down on mr. VisaF2F bill.

Aaauugh!

Please oh please do, because I need to be at that signing.

Jilli, I talked to a friend who's been to Comic-Con before, and I think how it works is that you pick up a ticket at the Dark Horse booth (#2615, it's really easy to find on the map), and then they have a drawing and post the results on a board somewhere, and if your number was drawn, you get a spot in line. I'll find out on Wednesday what the details are and give you a call. My copy of The Umbrella Academy came today and everything! Now I am less hopeful about my chances of getting it signed. Perhaps I will run into Gerard Way in the bathroom. Unfortunately, that is not an option for you.

I make no comments, and I take no bets.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Jilli, I can lend you some trousers and a soft pack, if you'd like. For, you know, sneaking into the room of men.
