Erin, how ridiculous! I'm sorry.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

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

That sucks, Erin. I'm sorry.
DC-istas, I'm going to be in your fair city next week for a conference, June 2-4. (The InterActive Conference, if anyone else is going.) If DC people would like to grab a drink or something on the 3rd, that would be great. (I'm leaving on a 5pm-ish flight on the 4th.) Just let me know.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
I still get the time, i just am not being allowed to use it while i'm in certain phases of training. (And i've been in training for all but about a month since September of 2008. It gets old to sign up vacation chunks and then get them pulled away.)

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

I still have some rooms on hold so if you can't get a reservation let me know and I'll hook ya up.

The status is NOT quo.
ND will be out of town, but I will try to come to prom. I don't think I can afford to spend the night this time, but that may change depending on what happens for the next month.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Dammit, I don't know if I can come now! Leo's vet bill took all my spare cash. I need to see if I've got the resources after I get paid Friday.
I already put in for the vacation days!

I know that at least some of the Somervillians plan on making an appearance but probably won't be needing a hotel.

I've made a reservation for Fri thru Sun at the Hampton. Not sure what the prom plans may be at this point. I can definitely contribute to getting a room at a restaurant somewhere for Saturday.
