So I will be attending a conference in Baltimore the second week of October!
!!! WOOHOO!!
What dates? Where are you staying?
And the thing is, I like my evil like I like my men: evil. You know, straight up, black hat, tied to the train tracks, soon my electro-ray will destroy metropolis BAD.

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

Our wings are not tired.
I'll be at the Hilton Baltimore Oct 9-11, at very least. Maybe the 8th, too. My new company acquired a company based in Philly/Langhorne and I may need to visit my (remote) employees there, too. So I need to figure out those details.
And I have a little Harry Potter Fan in Philly I need to visit.
Wheeee!

Awesome! I will definitely be around and would love to meet up.

I am SO psyched!! My only regret is that I won't be able to catch an Orioles game while there (I can't afford to buy play-off tickets for Orioles *and* Giants!).

SFistas, if my mother is going to a wedding in Menlo Park, does it make the most sense for her to fly to San Jose and rent a car and stay somewhere down at that end? Is there much to see without heading north? She's a youngish 62 and likes art and history and shopping. And she's offered to bring me as her +1 instead of her husband (it's my cousin's wedding (reception - he got married in Capri), and I wasn't actually invited, so that's a little weird, etiquette-wise, so I might not go.)

I can't think of much art and history down there (there's always shopping). If she likes art and history, there's a lot in the city. But Lee might know better.

It certainly make sense, but it's also easy to get from SF to San Jose. That's a major CalTrain corridor.

Lee would know better than I, but there are definitely those kinds of things in both San Jose and Palo Alto (with its proximity to Stanford).
And the easy train access works both ways if she wanted to daytrip it up to SF to go to the museums or walk around.

P-Cow! How was your birthday party? It looked like tons of fun. I was quite tempted to go.

She hasn't got a lot of time - so maybe just visiting Stanford would be enough of "something to do"? She spent some time in San Jose and had a low opinion of it, but as I pointed out that was literally more than 40 years ago and I suspect it has changed... she had the grace to laugh.

It was fun! I'm not a huge pinball fan or anything, but it was fun to try all the different kinds of machines, especially the old-school ones. And I got to kill Daleks with pinballs, so there was that.
