Kate and I also have a mutual friend, who she knew in high school and I knew in college.
Not just a friend (for me), but my first serious boyfriend! And I love that Trudy met my friend S. in line for MCR. I even get little thrills when Buffista friends and RL fannish friends turn out to know each other on LJ.
meara and I figured out that we were at the same pimps'n'hos party in 2000 but never met. I went back and looked to see if she was in the background of any of my pictures, but she wasn't.
I love the degrees of buffistas. Of course it makes me think that everyone
is
us, which is a dangerous sort of thing to think.
SO! What do the Chicagoistas` schedules look like on the afternoon of the 29th (I think), between about 11 & 2? I`ll be Amtraking through & have a layover. If anyone`s up for train station Chinese food, or wants to whisk me away, I`d love to see people!
Any DCistas want to go out with me for birthday dinner on Saturday? Maybe here [link] ?
Brenda and I are meeting up at Xoco in Chicago around 5:30 (or as close to then as I can actually manage to arrive and she to get there after work).
I will be Internet-free today, so if you don't have my cell number (It hasn't changed in years and years), then just show up.

The pork belly vermicelli is
amazing.
Hil, I meant to reply earlier - I can't make it. But have a happy birthday!
oh yes. and it is MONEY! It's this rich, wonderful porky broth with veggies and avocado and noodles, with three little slabs of pork belly on top.
Now I'm hungry for a rich porky broth.
