Yes, the Plaza.

I too have lived all around the Bay Area, Santa Cruz, and briefly in Portland, OR. I lived in Alameda, in a basement apartment of an old Vic in the Gold Rush part of town. And in Emeryville, in a brief, failed experiment at high rise living.

I've also lived in Berkeley, Oakland, and in a few different places in El Cerrito.

Like you, SuziQ, I moved around a lot without going too far. There was a period where I moved 8 times in two years. Ugh.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

ehab, I highly recommend the bay area buffistas. I miss them terribly. When you are ready to be social, post something in F2F.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

DavidS, that must mean Emmett's in middle school now?

He's at Albany High School now. But he goes through El Cerrito Plaza every day on his way home, and has lunch there half the time.

Nobody should have to live in El Centro, that place was maybe one step up from Yuma. Although, at least Yuma didn't have the Imperial fault under it.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Hello to the lurkers and de-lurkers.

Since last year, little has changed. Still in the same house, with the same husband and the same cats. Still working for NIH, though things are in a bit of flux as to where I'll be next year.(Group/lab in the process of shutting down, but they have to find me a new position. Hopefully still at NIH.)

Still attending 10-12 conventions a year. Most recently, Renovation(WorldCon in Reno) and Intervention(local con about webcomics and other on-line stuff that we day-tripped). Next up, OVFF(Ohio Valley Filk Fest)

Panda Express, sometimes. Also Rubio's and sometimes just the sandwich counter at Lucky's.

Anything for a weird life.

If there were a weirdo rapture, wouldn't the Buffistas be the first to know? The board would go significantly quieter than a tomb.
