Side note: the hotel is über walking friendly. The Paseo Colorado (a big, outdoor shopping/dining plaza [link] ) is right around the corner (including an Arclight movie theatre), and there are 50+ restaurants and tons of shopping (in addition to the plethora in the Paseo) within a mile radius. Unlike nobody walking in LA, everybody walks in Pasadena.

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.
Thank you to all the Buffistas I was able to see during my whirlwind weekend. Smooches to those I missed. We are back in Colorado. Not sure when we will be back to the bay area again, but know that I miss you bunches.
I've been idly perusing craigslist ads for cabins/cottages to rent this summer in Wisconsin and Michigan. Am I right in thinking we have some people who vacay in and around north/west Michigan? (Not UP, or at any rate, not my current plan.)
Since I have no real preferences, other than not too far, it would be good to coincide where and if possible.
I've promised to visit friends in the Grand Traverse region, but I don't yet know when I'm going.
I'll be in the Traverse City area in early August. It would be great to see any Buffistas who are in the area! If you're looking for rentals around there, though, you might want to nail things down soon. I originally planned to go up in July, but all the cottages in my range were booked by the end of February.
brenda, we go to Pentwater with family.
I made a website for the F2F! Follow this clicky link to learn more about Pasadena and the details of our gathering: [link]
P.S. I am in LOVE with weebly, which is where I created this site. SO easy to use, and free since I didn’t need any of the fancier options.
looks cool!!
Very nice, Pix! I looked at the around Pasadena page and nearly wept at everything I will most likely have to forgo. Maybe if I give up cable.
Brenda, Traverse City is always nice, but my folks really loved the Charlevoix/Petoskey area just north of Grand Traverse Bay. Their favorite hotel was Stafford's Perry Hotel. I don't know what it's like now, but it was very old world glam in the 70s with excellent food.
I will be in San Francisco for a conference the weekend of April 21. I'm hoping to have time to hang out with any available Buffistas on Saturday night, if the meeting ends early! We're staying at the Westin. Can SF'istas recommend any bars, restaurants, and/or tapas places in the vicinity of Market Street that I can take my coworkers to and get them well fed and drunk?
