You know I'm there, Ms. Bev.
I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

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.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Lee, I don't know--I have no realistic appreciation for distances or driving times, so decisions will need to be guided by someone local. I'd like to do supper somewhere central so no one who wanted to come would be discommoded by, um, time and distance.
I want to see you all, too! But I know visiting each of you is going to be nigh impossible, so I thought of the supper thing. If anybody has a better idea, I'm all ears.
Java Cat, can you email me some details about the cottage?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Yay Bev and Mr. Bev! That's wonderful and excellent and we'll be there with bells on, any night at all.
Since airline prices have now dropped like mad, Zmayhem in Seattle is starting to look just possibly possible. It's still looking more likely that it'll be just one of us, though, due to budget and scheduling issues; and since one of those scheduling issues is that it's right around the start of baseball tournament season, it's possible that the just one might be me. Hec thinks that whoever goes, either me or him, should go alone and the at-home person keep Matilda, which seems both sensible and completely impossible. An entire solo weekend? Surely it cannot be done. I'm not completely sure I even exist apart from her anymore.
Thoughts or advice from other parents who've sprogged and F2F'd, or just sprogged and traveled at all, solo or with kid?

Shit's all sorts of different now.
As one who has done 2 F2F's with Em, I say go it without. While it would be awesome to see her, it would impede upon your abilities to have an truly awesome, kid-free vacation and debauchery.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I have no sprog and hence no idea, but it strikes me that the F2F could be one heck of a travelswithchild blogfest...

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Well, it's not like you couldn't find a babysitter for a little kid-free debauchery ...

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Aww, man, I would LOVE to see sproglets up that weekend. PLAYDATE!

Our wings are not tired.
I will possibly have sprog this time. They might even be enticed to babysit, but the sprog would end up addicted to WoW. It is so much easier to travel with teens that are perfectly happy to be left alone in hotel rooms as long as there is internet access.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
If I attend this year it will probably be sans bebe due to the high cost of travel. I think I can get myself there with frequent flyer miles, but not myself plus spouse & child.
