Yeah, I'm interested -- it's just that I have no idea what I've doing this summer, so I can't say yet when I will or will not be free.
I'll be in my bunk.

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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Ok -- here's the good news: I did my taxes!
Here's the bad news: the amount we owe? Too much. No way to pay it, summer travel and camp for M, and come to the F2F. So I am womaning up, and being resposible AND IT FUCKING BITES.
FUCKITY.

I'm getting the pig!
Suz, if you see this, I got your vm and called back but you haven't set up vm yet on your phone so I couldn't leave a msg.
JZ, Sail, Erin, would staying with me or Suzi change anything? I can't do much about the flights but if bunking somewhere other than the hotel helps enough, just let one of us know.
Also, wondering if people like beer enough for me to stock the hospitality suite with what I can get free from work. Employee Sales gives us 3 free cases a month of whatever they have in stock each week. If it's part of the MillerCoors portfolio (Miller, Coors, Keystone, Killians, Blue Moon, Pabst, etc.) I can probably get it sometime between now and the F2F. It's not hard alcohol but it is free.

Nicole, that is awfully gracious of you, but I'm looking at about $1000 for taxes, $600 for flights for M and about $500 for just a couple of weeks of 1/2 day camps (part of parenting agreement.)
I just can't. And I hate it.

Ouch! And damn I hate it, too.
If one of us wins the lottery, first order of business is a plane ticket to Denver for Erin.

Nah, I have been the beneficiary of Buffistas largesse before; it's someone else's turn!
Unless it's an obscenely LARGE lottery prize, and then you can send me anywhere. (Also, I would like a fancy bathtub and a Kindle. Kthx!)

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
We've only made it to a few F2F gatherings. It has been Matt's work schedule. or family obligations - not even at t hat time, but ones that took money. I haven't really looked for this year yet. but my work schdule could be the culprit this time.

Erin, that's to bad and Beth too. It looks like our flights are going to be pricy, but we should be able to swing it this time around.

Yay, sj! We just found a new Italian restaurant that (IM non-Italian O) is better than the that other place we went to the last time you and D were here. If there's time, we should go. (Especially since it's your fault that we found them last night because you were talking about zeppole in another thread and I suddenly HAD to have some.)

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
Which place, Nicole?
In F2F related stuff... We are going with June 25th and the nice hospitality suite. Yes?
