Sigh. I was hoping to at least make it down tomorrow, but it ain't going to happen. Too much stuff I've got to take of up here. Have a great time everyone!
I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's still such a thing as a napkin.

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

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
Trudy and Zenkitty, call me when yóu're settled in so we can bring up the goodies.
Will do, SJ!

Zen and I are a little behind schedule. When you get there call sj, she's got the suite access!

We're a tiny bit behind schedule too. We're headed out now and hope to be there a little after 3!

Okay, I am looking at kid-friendly stuff we could do if we came by tomorrow (we are on the Cape now and need to be in suburban Boston for dinner tomorrow). There's Roger Williams Park, which has a zoo, carousel/ride area, lake with paddleboats, natural history museum, and various other stuff. The park is free; the zoo and rides and museum have various fees, and at least some mention no credit cards. [link] Looks like it's exit 16/17 (Elmwood) off I-95, and accessible by Bus 12 or 20.
Those who are getting in tonight, want to discuss at dinner and see if that sounds like something people want to meet up with us and do, maybe afternoon tomorrow? We need to be active & kid-friendly, and this sounds like the best bet in Providence, though I've never been there and I'm not sure how public transport-friendly or generally accessible it is (looks like quite a bit of walking, given the Google maps view, and the parking question is unresolved). I'll be checking the thread (can't reach gmail on this internet connection) and Trudy has my cell.

Our wings are not tired.
We are checked into hotel. Will be wandering around a bit shortly.
sj, call me when you get here so Brendon and I can help you get stuff to suite.

Flea, we would be happy to join you at the zoo tomorrow.
Laura, I will call you as soon as we get there.
For dinner tonight I have reservations for me, TCG, Zen, Trudy, dcp, Frank, Laura, and Laura's DH for Alforno's at 7 pm. If you are not on this list and you intend on joining us for dinner I need to know ASAP so that I can adjust our reservations.

The status is NOT quo.
Trudy had left me a message about tonight, so I just want to make sure up you all know I won't be in until tomorrow afternoon. Looking forward to seeing you all!

I've sent mail -- but to make sure you see that I'm in for dinner. I just have to stop dithering over the selection of clothes that I could possibly need for a day and a half, you know?
dcp - Jun 25, 2010 10:59:21 am PDT #5983 of 12708
The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I'm checked in -- room 905.
