I'm cool with Asmara.
No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

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

There is an Ethiopian place in Oakland that I should go to sometime, but I've never seen a Senegalese place before.
No recs for Boston, natch, but I think I've been to this place in Oakland with Buffistas, and it was teh yum. You should go when you get home, P-C.

Hey! I can be at Asmara at 5:30! The missus must decline, though. I didn't think I could join you guys since I've got plans for later in the evening, but 5:30 I can do.
P-C -- if you're staying at the Sheraton, you should consider taking the #1 bus, instead of the subway. The #1 bus is a straight shot down Mass. Ave into Cambridge, whereas with the subway, you have to take the green line all the way to Park St. and then switch to the red line into Cambridge. It's easier and more scenic.

Yay!

Aw.

Yeah, I took the #1 before. I'll see where I am when I need to get there. For instance, I'm going to Cambridge tonight, but I'm going to be taking the green line back to the hotel anyway, and I think it might actually be easier to just stay on and transfer to the red line rather than wait for the bus if the timing doesn't work out.
Ha, yeah, it's actually ten minutes faster and less waiting to just go straight there on the T from here. Coming back, I may take the bus, though, since it's a straight shot.

So, head count. So far I've got 5: Me, P-C, Nora, Theo and Jon. Is that right, just in case one of us gets there earlier than the others?
Tom won't be coming, will he, Nora? I know it's usually too tricky for him to make things in the Boston area during the week (especially on the earlier side).

No, he can't make it... and it is looking like I won't either. I am feeling pretty crappy- hoping to get out of here early and make it home in one piece on the train.
You guys will have an awesome time though!

Well, boo.
Feel better Nora. Will this affect tomorrow?

I'll pass on my regards if I don't see you. It's informal, right?

Waaah! I was looking forward to seeing you! I hope you feel better.
