Good shrink, but unclear causality - I needed one for other stuff (father dying, 9/11) not as a result of joining the board.

If life imitated art - as it should - ita's spirit would have passed into her laptop and then into the internet.

I firmly believe this is what happened.

Sail, yes still good. I had to check which one I had in there!

Do any NYCers (past or present) remember who hosted the watching party that ita came to? Not the first one, that was Fiona. This was a guy and maybe in Brooklyn, but not Scola, right? I would have remembered if it was Scola, wouldn't I?

Joe Boucher? David Rothschild? Joey...something? (Not a NYCer, just throwing out names.)

Aillean, I don't really remember you, but your story about your sister's death made me tear up. I am so sorry for your family's loss.

I am so jealous of all the F2F memories. I only ever made it to the first one in Chicago (which was crazy fun!). I met a few other Buffistas here and there, but I never had the pleasure of meeting ita. And now I never will. I hate that.

Maybe David. I seem to think he stopped posting soon after the event.

I think ita must have been in town for work?

Fear not, Callaluna--I still have pictures of you at that first Chicago F2F. :)

Though I just tried to look through all my photos and jeez, I need a better way of organizing them. Not only are some of them not in iPhoto, others are in there three times, some are way out of chronological order (because I scanned them, or got them from someone else after the fact), some were important at the time but should be deleted...and as far as I could tell, only two of them were of ita! I know I must have some hardcopies then, that I didn't scan...

From Firefly 1:

I could wear the Buffista thong.

I would do that, for the cause.
