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

I finally wrangled some goddamn hotels in Mountain View and San Francisco today, so I know where I'm staying now.

The SF one is pretty well situated for going to the sushi place Steph and Tim and Tom have all been to.

Also conveniently located for having cocktails chez moi (4-5 blocks away) or with moi. As long as I'm around, it could be a last-minute thing depending on your work schedule.

ETA: Note that sushi and I are un-mixy things. But I am always happy to mix, or be mixed with, cocktails.
