New England folks: my local family/friend calendar filled up a lot more than I expected, so I don't think I will be able to get away this weekend. I know a lot of you were pretty busy too, though, so maybe it's for the best. Sad, though!
I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

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

Pix, I'm sad to be missing you this trip, but I hope you are having a wonderful time with family and friends.

Thanks sj. It's been forever since I've seen you. I ended up having a friend from NYC come up tonight and have family plans the next three days. I am enjoying myself though, which is nice. It's always hard to be here on one level, so it's good that this visit hasn't been as fraught as some of the others.

I think it was the Seattle F2F, so definitely way too long. I'm glad it has been a nice visit for you.

So -- looks like I will be staying with amyth in Raleigh (THANK YOU DARLING!) and hey—it's her birthday week!
I'll try to come in the early evening of Tues. 8/14 Thr 15th, Wed., I can hang or...read...sightsee?...or do whatever (Amy, I will bring my computer and I can work while you're at work, unless other Buffistas kidnap me!)
I'm low-maintenance.
Then I will leave Thursday the 16th, hopefully in the early evening, so no one will have to get off work early to haul my ass outta NC! I have to be there at the aeroporto early because of my bionic arm.
I would love to see Hayden and Darth, if possible. SPONTANEOUS MINI F2F! HOW DID THIS MAGIC HAPPEN?
I am so jazzed, yo. I know nothing about Raleigh or NC. There are mountains? Are there lakes or beaches—should I bring a swimsuit?
Let me know any questions, needs, contracts, bribe, etc., here or email. I am so excited! And thanks for hostessing amyth, and to all my NC peeps!
Can't wait.

Yay! I can't wait either! I'll send out an email later today to try and gather up the NC-istas. WOO!
Strix, the buses in Chapel Hill/Carrboro are free, and I'm within walking distance of the downtowns of both (if you don't mind surface-of-the-sun temperatures), but maybe we can arrange a get-together in Durham for either Tuesday evening or Wednesday evening.
amych, what say you?
Calli will be back from MI by then, too!

I'm good for whatever! I mean it. I'm SO easy! (Wow, haven't that SAID since my 20's and all I'm drinkin' is coffee!)
Er...you DO have WiFi right, so I can get a little work done here and there?
Off to look at tickets!
