Carroll. It's in Waukesha, WI.
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.
Yeah, I know where it is. You can get from Chicago to MKE easily enough, but getting out there without a vehicle would be challenging.
I did some looking, and it seems there is a bus. But my family wants to pick me up, so that will have to be an adventure for a future trip.
So, I'm in Chicago, but due to a bunch of random shit and previous plans and being here for such a short time, knew that I wasn't going to be able to hang with the Buffistas this trip. Apparently fate demanded that I be with Brenda, because we ended up at the same restaurant tonight. There I was sitting down with my friend Dan (from another board) and there she was!
Ha, that's awesome.
It totally was. I was all set to come home and squee about Bayless being there and then I was all "Eh, Bayless, whatever. Vortex!"
'ffista kismet!
Ha! Jessica and I once ended up in the same restaurant in Brooklyn when I was in NYC for a wedding, too.
Ha! I've never managed to bump into buffistas like that (well, aside from our tour group at the Evanston f2f running into Sumi on the street), but I once went to eat lunch at a pizza place in Memphis, heard women in another booth talking about NAEYC, and peeked over to discover two former co-workers of mine.
I think Kate and Meara had the same thing happen in Seattle they ran into each other on the sidewalk.
