I ended up reformatting much of the F2F site to make it more mobile-friendly. The pictures and text should read correctly on phones as well as laptops now. I also added several restaurants and amazing gastropubs to the list. TWO WEEKS!

Hurray!

Oh, also, I forgot to mention that there’s a big ol’ ice skating rink adjacent to the hotel with rentals available if anyone wants to go skating. I added info about that and some other possible outings and moved all food-related recs to the Food page.

Oh, good! My friend and I were looking for a good lunch place for Friday afternoon. El Portal looks like a good option, with Vanessa's for dessert.

Great option! Delicious food and beautiful ambiance.

Damn, the Ensalada Maya looks really good! And so do a lot of other things. Any recommendations?

Downtown Cincy hotels are outrageously expensive this weekend. I got a good rate near the airport, so it looks like I'm driving in to the city.

Saturday, I won't get in until almost midnight. Sunday is wide open. I have no itinerary planned. Who would like to meet up? I'm completely fine doing kid-friendly activities, flea. Meals are also good. And I need to try Graeter's.

I have to leave Monday late morning to make it back to Louisville in time for the conference.

Cell phone (will go poof in a bit): 202-256-1380.

Maria, the airport is about a 20-minute drive from downtown, so it's not terribly far.

Sunday is wide open for me, AFAIK. My cell is 513-919-9407.

Just booked my Oak-Bur flight and car. I get in on Wed afternoon (and have plans with family and non-Buffista friends until Thursday evening). Depart out of Bur mid-day Saturday. Wish I didn't have to cut the trip short, but really want to be back for an event Saturday night in the bay area. Can't wait to see everyone. I asked Pix if I could bring my favorite uncle and his girlfriend to the bar-b-que. They moved to LA a year and a half ago and they're SUCH Buffistas and just don't know it yet. Janice is even a librarian! So anyway, I am really looking forward to seeing everyone, especially at the bar-b-que.

Tep, I'm up for anything. Just let me know.

Hurray hurray for upcoming Pasadena F2F! I am also making my friends B and C (who many of you met at our wedding) come to the BBQ and Prom because they are totally Buffistas and know many of you already.

If anyone else would like to bring friends or family, the more the merrier! I just need a final count by mid-week next week so I can go shopping.

ETA: I wish I could teleport the rest of you here for the weekend. Sadface.

Oh! I think I shall invite my friend who wrote a book about lady pirates.
