Yikes - I knew the Algonquin was expensive, but I hadn't realized the scale of it until just now talking to a co-worker. We're talking $20 per cocktail. Just a heads-up in case anyone is on a budget!

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

Because books.
Oh my. I just checked the bar at the Royalton, and drinks are about as much there, too. (Gorgeous space, though.)
I'm going to send a group email to everyone who said they were planning to be there on Wednesday, so we can exchange cell numbers.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Whoa! In the right neighborhood, you could get cock and/or tail for that much.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I am happy to go some place less likely to pick our pockets. And my email is robin@fogelson.com.

It's a shame Divine Bar closed - they would have been perfect.

I'm doing a hundred things today and tomorrow, and I haven't been in that neighborhood in too long to think of anywhere else to go -- I'll send the email in a minute, but I'll let you all decide where we meet, if that's okay. I'd love to go to the Algonquin, and I don't mind ordering an iced tea instead of a drink.
We could also meet there and then take the party elsewhere once everyone arrives.

Just to clarify - Algonquin is ok with me, I just wanted to make sure nobody fainted at the price list on Wednesday night.

I'd like to do it for the historical aspect, mainly. I am planning on ordering a Diet Coke. Maybe we can do one drink there and then decide what we want to from there?

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Heya!
Who's got four thumbs and will be in Washington DC in August???
ME AND EM!!
We're driving in on Sunday the 14th and leaving Tursday afternoon the 18th. We'll be travelling with Joe's cousin Becky and her husband Chris who are totes awesome people. I know it's far away, but I'd love to see people. Maybe a dinner one night?
So far I think we're doing the zoo, the American History museum (I have a date with some ruby slippers), the American Indian museum, Arlington, and maybe the White House. Can't do Air and Space - I promised Joe he could take Em the first time. So if anyone wanted to join us for any of that it would be for sure awesome!
Anyway - just wanted to throw that out there.
