Ooooooh, I especially like the full moon shot!
Ouhh! Snacks! The secret to any successful migration! Who's up for some tasty fried meat products!?

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

BayAreaistas: We will be around this coming weekend, and have planned to meet some people at Cordornices Park in Berkeley on Sunday from 2-4, if anyone would like to come out and visit with us!
And LAistas: We will be in Culver City the next weekend, where my niece & nephew will be playing Bluegrass at Me-n-Ed's Pizza in Lakewood starting at 6:30 p.m. Family friendly, for my 2 year old.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
(cross-post from Press) I am going to be in San Francisco next week! I will be accompanying my elderly mom and going on super-hip things like sightseeing tours, though, so no Buffista meet-ups. We are staying at the Comfort Inn on Van Ness. If you have suggestions for dinner places or other things a lady who does not like spicy food and can't walk more than a block, but who does have wide-ranging cultural tastes, might like, fire away!

You can take a cab from there (you're right at Lombard) to North Beach very cheaply (it's like five blocks), and there are lots of Not Spicy But Cream Saucy Italian places you could go.
Juliana would be your best guide but I could pimp some places. I do particularly love L'osteria Del Forno which specializes in Italian roasted things instead of pasta.
They've got stuff like gorgonzola melted over polenta, or crepes filled with mushrooms, ham and bechamel. But they also have more adventurous things like octopus carpaccio.
It's a small place run by two sisters.

That looks perfect, Hec. I am REALLY sorry I won't see any SFistas, but it's the anniversary of my dad's death that weekend and my mom is pretty fragile, so she is not up for company.

Scrappy, disappointed that you'll be so close without meeting, BUT totally understandable! I hope you and your mom have a lovely time.

Hey, following Scrappy's lead...
Joe is taking the kids to FL in March. I'm trying to plan a trip for me and Sammy to SF so i'm not sad missing them. I want to meet buffistas, eat good food and hear the ocean. I'm thinking March 23-27. I need suggestions on where to stay since i dont know the area. Also would love to plan to meet as many as i can.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Also YAY for me! I am actually scheduled to have the surgery to have the port removed right around then, so I will be a little limited in terms of what I can do, but I might be able to do some stuff.

(And I am not ignoring Sparky - already have plans to see her.)
