And BSG! I swear I was going to ask you guys if I could just come visit one weekend to play games. It's not like flights to Burbank are expensive.

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.
PC, we should plan it. We'll find a time when Sean and Omnis and some other folks are available.
You bet! (I still have yet to play an actual live, in person game of BSG)
Winding down. Had a fun day, starting with brunch, where I craftily snagged a seat at the middle of the long table so that I could follow the conversations at both ends, followed by a short tour of Silver Lake and Los Feliz with Sean K. as the guide (his apt. has a most impressive view). At Griffith Observatory (where the view is even better), enjoyed the planetarium show and the Tesla coil demonstration. Drove back to Pasadena with only one (brief!) accidental detour, and had dinner with ND, Pix, SailAweigh, EpicTangent, and her friend Wayne.
Forgot sunscreen again, which I am going to regret in a couple weeks.
I would love to have a game night! And once the new place is in, happy to host too. I'll have room to set up my 6' table. Lots of room! Or play on the new deck. And PC, I will be right next to Long Beach Airport, so could easily pick you up there too. I think bay area to BUR or LGB are about the same price. Just another option. Maybe we could arm twist Erin to join us, since she missed out on game playing. I'm sure Pix wouldn't mind an erin visit. Just an idea!

You can come too!
I am home from the overnight plane ride from hell, where I was stuck behind a wall with no tray table and a seat that refused to recline so I could really snooze. At least the 1 hour flight back to Madison was 2/3 empty and I had a row to myself to stretch out in and catnap.
I had a most awesome F2F! It was wonderful to meet up with old friends, to make new ones (Becca and Cricket are totes Buffistas), to meet more Buffistas that I've interacted on the board with but not met in person. Both Burrell and Kat Perez were a treat to meet. It was so nice to meet Kat and the twins. Grace taught me how to say "nice to meet you" in ASL! And then she called me silly. (There should be an emoticon there, but I will spare it for those who disdain them.) Dcp, that sly devil, did get the best spot at the brunch table on Sunday and since I was his left with Scrappy on his right, I didn't get a chance to speak with Scrappy, but I did admire her red hair of awesomeness. I am so glad I made it to the F2F this year, because I honestly don't know if I'll have the opportunity again for another couple of years.
I do have some photos to put up, but right now I am beat and I'm heading up to my bed for more catnapping.
eta: Oh! And Pix and Drew were the most awesome hosts. If Drew ever decides to give up sound designing and Kristin teaching, they should start an event scheduling business.
And I owe many thanks to epic_tangent's friend Wayne who gave me a ride from the hotel to LAX. Above and beyond, even the friends of Buffistas are the best.
"You can come too!"
Considering the look I got when I suggested I might be taking a long weekend in August, I'll have to say "we'll see" and leave it at that.
I'm sorry I missed everyone!
