No, it's no problem. I feel the same way, and it adds up super fast with four people. Too bad the craigslist guy didn't pan out.
Angel: You know, I killed my actual dad. It was one of the first things I did when I became a vampire. Wesley: I hardly see how that's the same situation. Angel: Yeah. I didn't really think that one through.

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

OH! I forgot to tell you. He finally emailed me back and was like, "Sorry, but my email broke with all of the responses. I sold them to a re-seller. Here's the link to the site." Um. Thanks?

Except the caterers fucked up and made us kahlua mint quiche. Ew. So Vortex and I had to have a talk with the hotel about how they were going tonpay for our pizza.
oh, you are so right about the ew.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Here is my pitch for Minneapolis for the big F2F:
Travel/transportation - the MSP airport is a hub for Delta, after the merger with Northwest airlines. This may make air travel more convenient for those coming from a distance. A light rail line has stations at both terminals of MSP, as well as stops at the Mall of America and in downtown Minneapolis.
Attractions/Activities suggestions
- Paddleboat cruise on the Missippi River >[link]
- Minnesota Science Museum, including the collection of Questionable Medical Devices >[link]
- Mall of America, including such attractions as more stores than you can shake a stick at (try it, I'll bet your arm gets really tired before you have shaken the stick at all of them), Underwater Adventures, House of Comedy, Amazing Mirror Maze, ACES flight simulator, etc.
- The Wabasha Street Caves in St. Paul - cave tours on Saturdays, Swing Nights on Thursdays.
Weather in Minnesota in June is relatively mild, temperatures in the 70s or 80s.
ETA: Every time I look at a calendar, my eyes land on June 24-26 (or expanded, Thursday, June 23 through Monday, June 27) as an harmonious time frame.
ETA2: Since that is Pride Weekend, then perhaps the harmoniousness I got had nothing do with our F2F.
ALSO, lcat suggested adding the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden [link] to the list of attractions.

Andi, just FYI that's Pride Weekend--things might be crowded/travel around town difficult. I hear Minneapolis is pretty gay. :)

And I would not want someone from here to have to make the choice to stay away from the F2F because of wishing to participate in Pride Weekend in their own locale.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I'm afraid I won't be able to make it to Anaheim this weekend. I've come down with a nasty cold.

Pix and I are still planning on coming down to Anaheim this weekend. It's looking like Sunday is going to be the best day for us, is there a time that is best?

Oh, bummer, Laga. Sunday late lunch would work for us with the PixDesigns, maybe 1:00? Would that do? And for anyone else?

That works for us. Where are you staying? We'll work out a place to hook up.
