All this talk is making me miss in-person Buffistaness. I don't suppose anyone wants to come watch some fencing in Des Moines this weekend?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

It is very soon though!
Yes, but if they went sooner, they could also see The Scola.

That's true. We should put that sentence in bold sparkly text.

Why don't you come fencing in PDX, and then you can see Scola too!

See? SEE?!
But sadly, upcoming weekends = totally booked. In very fun ways, but still, booked.

The best women's saber in the world is to be found in PDX (as is my coach's coach), so it's always a serious temptation. But the US Fencing Association says that this weekend's tournament is to be in Iowa.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
We have points on every continent (except Antarctica).
We should actively recruit someone at one of the research stations. They'd have time for it, right? I mean, what else could they be doing for recreation?
Besides that.

I know! the Olympic fencers trained here! I learned that somewhere along the way and thought of you. "Now," I thought in my head, "how can I make amych come here and do stuff here. She likes fencing! And me! It's win-win!"

I've only hosted two Buffistae, so far (Madison isn't that big dot on the map): Ginger and Nicole, but I did get to play with Vortex and smonster when they were in town for various conventions. That's always nice! And a couple of WisCons ago I got to spend time with Theo, 'Suela, and Nutty.
And I've been hosted by a plethora of Buffistae in return: Nicole, Perkins, brenda, ChiKat, Beverly, Ginger and aurelia (I think.)
I've cohabited with brenda, Perkins and Suzi at various offical and semifo F2Fs.

Our wings are not tired.
I've hosted (at my old place) Anne W. Suzi stayed with me at my new place. Megan Walker was my first houseguest in my new place - and she brought me flowers! Amy and I shared a hotel room in Vegas. I've stayed with Kristin and Drew. Visited erikaj in her condo in AZ. Got fed an amazing meal at Fran's Philly house(with the bonus of a fantastic massage given by d!).

Pete and I have stayed with Drew & Kristen (and want to come visit you two SOON!)t points and points and points again
This, please.
I know I will embarrass myself terribly if I try to list everyone I've visited or had visit me, because I'm bound to forget someone I love to pieces and then feel like an utter idiot for forgetting them.
But...leaving ND out of the mix since that's an obvious one...
People who have stayed with me:
billytea, Tom Scola, Cass, Trudy, Matt H, megan walker, Jilli & Pete, Jon B., Victor & thessely, Jessica, omnis, javachik, Sean K., laga, meara, Hil, Debet (I'm pretty sure?), Kate P....
People I've stayed with:
Jilli & Pete, Cass, Matt & Beth, Jon B. & FAQ Wife, Victor & thessely, megan walker, laga, Juliana (CHAOS!, Kate P.)...
If I add people who I've either visited or had visit but didn't spend the night, I'd add DX, sj, Vortex, Trudy, Kat, Allyson, Suzi, Theo, Nutty, Deb, Sean, Aims & MM, vw, Emily, Frank, erin_obscure, Plei & DH, JZ & Hec, P-C, Jessica & DH, Maria, Tom & Nora, libkitty, Barb & DH, Nilly (on two coasts during her travels), and everyone I've seen at F2F (which I'm not counting for the purposes of this list).
I luvres my Buffistas.
And I'm certain I'm forgetting people. I am lame that way.
