P-C, that hotel is right near a place we had dinner one of the last times you were in town (The Summer Shack), and I think we also found a trivia night at the bowling alley downstairs. Just for a frame of reference; not necessarily what we'd want to do this time around.
I am a large, semi-muscular man. I can take it. Don't hide behind Mal 'cause you know he'll shoot it down for you. Tell me.

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

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Jilli, I'm tasked with reminding you that in addition to P-C and myself and any other Buffistae who are coming into my fair burg for Comic Con, one of my very awesome non-Buffista friends who has chatted with you on LJ is very much looking forward to meeting/hanging with you. I believe there was a suggestion of dinner made, perhaps? I can't remember what her LJ handle is, but she said she discussed becoming a Goth, and that she didn't think she could make a full-time commitment, maybe she could "be a Goth on Tuesdays"? Ring any bells? Anyway, we'd love to try to catch a meal with you and M. Pete - Friday or Saturday dinner, perhaps?

I'm almost certain to be there. Is that on Mass Ave, or is it outside of Central in a different direction?

I'm going to write a tease of an idea here for future F2F. Tease, as in, I do not know all the details.
The gal I'm seeing is somehow linked with travel in a side job or some such. But she tells me there are ways of getting into time share condo's with OUT having to actually BUY into timeshare condo's, or sit through the 3 hour lecture. And one of those is the Disney Boardwalk in Orlando. Something about a condo that easily sleeps 8 for $500/WEEK or something in that range. I think it was 3 bedrooms and pull out couch. So maybe folks get the rooms, and we leave pull out couches for last minute folks? But that price range for a WEEK just seems ridiculously cheap, compared to $169/night.
Just an idea to look into, maybe instead of hotel? Or, would that be too hard to coordinate, what with the herding of cats and all. Anyhow, just throwing out an idea. If we like, I'll pester her with more details and web clickies.

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