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

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.

yeah Amy - the snow closings (6 days? really SIX SNOW DAYS in two weeks is enough already) killed me - and work has gone... actually there's no word I know of for this level of nuttiness. Want to collaborate ?

I can definitely write to Philly hotels to see about group rates and stuff, would that help? I have stayed downtown several times and have a fairly good idea of the layout.

It would, java, if you're offering. I've got freelance work and Daisies stuff this week, and we had two snow days last week, plus Sara now looks to have an ear infection. And then there's a book deadline looming.

Sox, I feel you! ::clings::

I realized, too, I can pimp all the great reasons to visit Philly in a heartbeat but I've never actually stayed in a hotel there, and have no idea where to start.

And then I look at everything I have to do this week, let alone this week, and I want to curl up and cry.

Okay, why don't we take it to email? I am happy to help. I will ask boyfriend to help me, too, since he firmly believes that Philly is second only to Paris in the list of World's Greatest Cities! (I roll my eyes forever at this)
