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.

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.

Our wings are not tired.

I won't be attending at all, sadly.

I'm looking into several options. I'll let you know when I have info on availability of cost.

And just to prove that layers are the way to pack for this F2F, yesterday it was near 100F and today it is in the 60s.

sj, while it probably wouldn't work for Saturday, do you think there might be time to get a group together for Al Forno? Maybe Friday?

I don't think they take reservations, but if people would give me a show of hands of whether or not they are interested, I can ask if they will make an exception for a small group.
