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.

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.

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.

I'm getting the pig!
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.)

Which place, Nicole?
In F2F related stuff... We are going with June 25th and the nice hospitality suite. Yes?

No need to double post. In Dc F2F news, still hoping to meet up with some of the folks out here.

One of the Denver groupons today is a guided hike in Estes Park (about 90 mins away, I think?) for $25. One of the available dates is the 24th, so might be of interest to early arrivers. [link]

Suzi, it's called Salvatore's Vita Bella, up past Belleview on Kipling. Very tasty.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I've attended four F2Fs and had a total blast at each one, and I really want to go to another one. It just won't be this year's, because we're leaving for our honeymoon (finally!) on June 18th.
It may be a few more years before I can go to another F2F, in fact. But I really, really hope they keep happening. Seeing the pictures and reading everyone's happy reports make me glad to be a part of this community, and I think they help keep us connected to each other, even if only a small number of people can go in any given year. And, dammit, I WILL go to another one someday!

Nicole, that sounds lovely! I can't wait to see you again and finally meet your DH!

Exactly. I hope they keep happening, regardless of overall attendance.
Nicole, I honestly don't know if it would make enough of a difference at this point. I'd like to say it's possible, but I am so deeply pessimistic at the moment that I can't see it happening. When I pull my head out of the sand and figure out my taxes, I'll have a more balanced idea of where I sit.
