I'm going to seriously start planning to be able to attend this year. Seeing Seattle runs a close second to meeting Buffistas. I haven't worked out the details yet, but there is hope.
Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness.
Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.
'Never Leave Me'
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.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
It's looking more and more like I'll be able to make it this year.
keeps fingers crossed

Yay! And I hope to be able to make it this year. Bad boss is now ex-boss.

I'm going to have to wait and see. If business turns around by late spring, I'm hopeful I can attend. but if I have to take a salary cut I'll likely be using my tax refund for shelter and food rather than airfare.

* Except for the Underground Tour. That's awesome.
I was totally going to ask about that. I remember when I was a kid, I saw the second Kolshack TV movie (The Night Strangler), and the climax took place in the underground city part of Seattle. I've always wanted to see that IRL.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
I realllly wanna go now! Baseball. Underground. Sci-fi. Buffistas galore! I should know how the finances look in the next few weeks, once my DC trip is off the visa card.

It's awesomecakes! I love it. We once set a GURPS game there! I mean, I'm a frothing building history geek, so it totally places to my interests, but I think other people enjoy it, too.
Baseball, OTOH, is totally skippable in Seattle.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I'll do the SciFi, the Underground and any other good shopping. I don't do baseball or heights (the Space Needle is right out for me.) As long as I'm working by June, I'm coming. You can thank the huge ass tax refund I got for that.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
The underground tour (which I've done twice) demonstrates that the history of Seattle is dictated by its sewage systems. It's awesome!
