Charlottesville, VA, I thought. But I'm probably wrong.
You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I think you're right, Bev. I know she can drive to NJ and back in one day, so I don't think it could be NC. Hee.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Brenda, yeah, nobody in Charlotte. Most of us (amyth, amych, me) are 2.5 hrs away. Plus I'll actually be in NOLA at the time, so I'll be much further away than that.
I can only assume the paintball thing is fantasy, because it'd suck up an entire day and you'd spend the rest of F2F nursing your aches, bruises, scrapes & twisted ankles. Good times.
Well, I *did* play and enjoy rugby for five years, and I *do* like the contrast of bruises with formal wear... but you're probably right.

O.M.G.
I just realized the F2F is occurring the same weekend as the Fremont Solstice Parade.
What this means is that we've definitely got one Buffista event all sown up for Saturday lunchtime. We'll want to be down there around 10.30 or so and the Parade itself starts at 12 noon. The floats are usually a lot of fun,and then there's the Fremont troll.
Also, nude bicyclists. The bicyclist count last year was way past 300.

nude bicyclists.
...why? Why do people elect to cycle sans clothing?

Oh, Fay, you have to see it, it's very fun. And many make ample use of body-paint to make some very entertaining sights.
Honestly, your reaction would be one of the funnest to witness.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Hey, at least they aren't traveling via pogo sticks.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I would love to cycle naked. Hell I'll do almost anything naked as long as I know where my towel is.

One would assume they're standing rather than seated, so pedalling should induce propeller-esque motion.
