What should I do, then? Send her a gift? Sacrifice? … Unholy fruit basket?

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

Bugger. I'll be in Maine at that point.

Nora, could you send out an e-mail to the list? I'm not sure everyone interested reads this thread regularly.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

Anyone up for downtown dinner (somewhere with AC) in Portland Thurs night before the book signing?

Erin, I have no idea what the plans are. I suspect we will grab dinner before the event, but beyond that I have no clue. I have to focus my attention on packing now...

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Boston folk! So, spots that look the most free include Sunday lunch and dinner, Wednesday dinner, and Friday lunch and dinner. Who's free? I've heard from Frank and Theo; Nora, Jon, vw, etc, will you be around?

Friday dinner would probably work best for me. Would maybe not prefer to go to Summer Shack. Maybe we can make a foray into the South End.

Friday works for me. I don't know what the South End is. Except that it is probably on the south end.

Just in case anyone in portland is paying attention and cares, i would tentatively reccomend saucebox at 214 sw broadway (a cuple blocks from powells) for food (and, for me, booze) before book festivities tonight. Um, i haz cellphone if anyone decides i am cool enough to call. I showered this morning and promise to be decently (if skimpily) attired.
