Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

The only way I can see to make it work is a 7 am Sunday morning flight from LAX. I guess in that case I wouldn't need a hotel room...

Our wings are not tired

Sounds perfectly reasonable to me.

Of course I just did a 6 AM flight to Seattle yesterday and a 7:40 AM flight back today.

Hee. ND's life being like mine right now...

I have to say, when I thought of the weekend initially, I went "OMG, normally I'd stay with Drew and Kristin, but I guess not so much this time, ack!"

Oh, hey Dine About Town is happening, so we could potentially get a fancy two-course lunch for $17.95 on Sunday. Polter-cow, Hil, anyone else have opinions?

Eta: juliana, you've been to the Sendak exhibit already? About how long should we allow for it, if we plan on meeting people for lunch after, do you think?

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

Oh, huh. I am trying to be a bit more frugal this month after my vacation, but perhaps I should look into that.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I have to go to a long-planned event on The Night, but would love to come to any Saturday or Sunday brunch-type thing with everyone.

I poked through the Dine About Town menus without finding much in the way of vegan options, so maybe that's a bad idea for Sunday. Too bad.

Not javachik

Wow, that's quite a deal. I might have to check this out also.

Urban Tavern - Mediterranean -- looks to have adequate veggie options, perhaps even vegan by accident.

Never mind, I was reading the menu incorrectly, I thought they had a squash entree.

I am keeping my eye on the thread to see if, at last minute, I'll be able to join the Hil gang wherever you decide to eat. I don't want to be considered in terms of locale, timing, etc, because I have a million things to accomplish this weekend (and have no idea if I will be able to carve out time).

I prefer to underpromise and overdeliver!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Sorry I'm not much help in planning stuff. My brain is kind of overloaded this week.
