I certainly hope I can make it next year... it's been far too long since I've gotten to see any buffistas in person.
Jimmy Olsen jokes're pretty much gonna be lost on you, huh?

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

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Back from seeing Nora and Tom, Perkins, megan walker, and Polter-Cow.
We met up at the wine bar at Eos and Matilda happily munched on bread and clambered on me while we snarfled up the shitake mushroom dumplings. P-Cow arrived just in time to get No Food Whatsover, except three little potatoes. Then we told him we were going to split the bill evenly.
I tried to lead the herd of us to Alembic but it was too crowded. So Polter-Cow grabbed two slices of pizza and we walked down to the Zam Zam. I was worried that (a) they wouldn't allow outside food to the bar and (b) they wouldn't allow Matilda. But they did. And the bartender made her a super special Cherry Lime Rickey with whipped cream while we all had Manhattans and Martinis.
Matilda announced, "I want a martini too!" Which was the right thing to say in that particular bar but only got her a Cherry Lime Rickey.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Also, Tom and Nora ROCK like the rockingest things ever, but you all already knew that.

Glad to here the McWaringles arrived safe and sound.
In the city there are buses and cabs, but to go to the other cities, it would probably be easiest to carpool.
There are also train options to Boston (MBTA and Amtrak). I'm not sure if the commuter rail one runs all the way to Providence on the weekends, though.

Had dinner with TB on Saturday. Thanks for the conversation, dude.
Take care of our Scola! I would like him well-fed and rested in PDX, please.

Our wings are not tired.
What's the plan for N&T at Toronado tomorrow night? If my jetlag doesn't kill me, I might be able to join y'all after the Margaret Atwood reading I'm attending (around 9). Think you'll still be there?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Should have come to see me....

You were more than two blocks away.

Okay, y'all, are there plans tonight for Toronado??! I don't want to be demanding, but I demand to know! I really want to meet Nora and Tom!
