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

The status is NOT quo.

No boats, please. Hard to escape for alone time on boats!

In terms of official pimpage, could anyone else who plans to pimp officially do so by the end of this week, maybe? Then we can vote and go from there.

Well, it would be a different sort of prom to consider. It would only be about two hours long and alone time might be back at the hotel.

We've had a variety over the years, both Madison and Atlanta were too public for much shenanigans -- but that's why they made after parties.

Our wings are not tired

I know in the past that lots of folks have run back to their rooms mid prom for a bit in order to escape the crowd feeling. This would be difficult on a boat.

There are all kinds of alone time, of course. Deffinately something to consider once we pick a city, pick a date, and start prom planning. I'm just pimping options.

megan-

Khan! You'll be staying just a couple of blocks from where I work. Except I'll be out of town next week. Boo, me!

FWIW, I will offer recommendations, because Rockville is not exactly an exciting town. If you like sandwiches, there is Roy's Place, which is dive-y but good. It's not bad dive-y but it's not fancy by any stretch. It's worth going just to read the menu. There is also nummy dim sum to be had at lunchtime here. Both are within a 15-30 min. drive of your hotel, depending on traffic/time of day. And they're cheap and more interesting than going to someplace generic, I think.

Oh, and going southish, you're near Rockville Town Square which has all this. Obviously there's tons of stuff in DC, too, but if you just want to run out for a meal at least you'll know what's nearby.

I hope you have a good trip! And I'm bummed that I won't be around that week.

Lunch in Rockville-- urban BBQ! Or the Cuban place! Or crisp and juicy! Nomnomnom. Or pho. Or Korean. Or salvadoran. Or the argentinian empanada place! Or koshermart! ....can you tell I used to work there and liked to eat out at cheap places?

not your mom's socks.

I suck. I'm having some issues pimpng Philly, solo especially, mostly due to some work issues. Please someone take over to make sure it happens fast, please please.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Mmmm, Roy's place. (sorry, I have nothing else to add)

Because books.

I can try to get Philly pimped this week, but I really doubt it's going to happen -- I've got about seven thousand things going on this week between the kids and work.

Thanks Strega! I don't know Rockville at all, but I did go to school in DC and lived in NoVa for 3 years after that, so I otherwise know the area. But I'm only there overnight anyway.

But thanks for the Roy's recommendation because I'm pretty sure I won't pass anything interesting on the way from the airport and I'll need to pick up dinner somewhere.
