I know there are a few motels right at the mouth of the Holland Tunnel, but I'm guessing we might not want to stay in them.
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

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

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
erin, are you crazy?! Buffistas, tons of bars, and a *7 foot singing chicken*?! It's like God just stepped down from Heaven announcing his existence, telling the world he's a Buffy fan and We are his Chosen People, and handed us a travel brochure engraved on a stone tablet! We HAVE to go to Hoboken!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
No chance of Boreanaz showing if we do that.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Meara, you said something a while ago about maybe being in town this weekend?
javachik - Feb 02, 2010 4:59:00 pm PST #5044 of 12720
Our wings are not tired.
Speaking of being in town, and that town being D.C., this time I am coming for certain. Conference is paid for, ticket is bought. In fact, I am going from SFO-BOS-IAD so that I can visit Steve over Pres Day Weekend (not scheduling any Buffista get-togethers for Boston just yet - and it's not bad this time - it's that we might go out of town for that weekend once I get there).
So, I have the nights of Tues., Wed., Thurs and Friday (Feb 16-19) to spend quality time with Buffistas in DC. I'll actually be staying at the Westin in National Harbor, but it shouldn't be too much trouble to get to a more central location. I have other friends who aren't Buffistas to visit, but they have to work around the Buffista get-togetherage.

YAY, javachik! What will your schedule be like while you're here? Only evenings free?
javachik - Feb 03, 2010 9:12:48 am PST #5046 of 12720
Our wings are not tired.
Yeah, conference goes from 8:30 in the morning to probably 4:30 or 5 every day. I don't think I'll get roped into any vendor activities in the evening. So I am way flexible.

“Not dead yet!”
X-posted w/Literary, because it seems apropos:
Seattle-istas and NoCal-isatas, a friend of mine, Carrie Jones, is book-touring in the areas next week and she writes YA that I think might appeal to many of you guys.
Her two most recent releases Need and Captivate just hit the NY Times Bestseller list. Her earlier books, Tips on Having a Gay Ex-Boyfriend and Love (and other uses for Duct Tape) were critically lauded, but it's really the Need series that's taken off.
She's a total sweetheart and I'd love to get her some support-- she's also touring with another author, Alyxandra Harvey-Firtzhenry. I don't know much about her, but she's written a vampire YA that seems to be getting some buzz as being different from the rest of the pack: Hearts at Stake.
Anyhow, details of the tour are at Carrie's LJ [link]

February 8th Third Place Books 17171 Bothell Way Lake Forest Park, WA Time TBD www.thirdplacebooks.com
