Only 9?
I'm trying to remember if we went to Pat O'Brians for hurricanes. Things are fuzzy.
Also, weren't there, like, people having sex on the balcony across from our hotel?
'Bushwhacked'
A place where we can talk about ita, miss ita, and share information about memorials. The hugging started over here in Natter.

Oh God, the people having sex across the street! I'd forgotten about that.
Good times.
I missed that, but I think Trudy held a watch-and-post party in her room.
Aillean, it's too young, and too tragic, and I'm so sorry, for you and for her husband and sons.
I have spent more time on FB in the last two days than I have in the last four *years*. I will probably check in more there, but it is not a comfy place for me, nor will I be greatly expanding my friends there. I'm happy here. Here is good. But the pictures are there, so.

With all the talk of drinks and proof, it took me a moment to parse out that you were talking about *actual* sex, and not some NOLA drink special.
Still kills me that I missed that F2F. I love that city so dearly, and I wanted so badly to be in it with Buffistas (to be fair, I honeymooned there with a Buffista AIWFG, but I am greedy and want more).
Oh, I was upset about missing New Orleans too, and then doubly so when Katrina hit just a few months later.

Same. The only two F2Fs I made were DC and SF. I wish I had attended more.
I also wish I had had the chance to meet ita in person.

Well, it started out as just some people hanging out in our room, but then we noticed them across the street...
I'm with amyth, calli, Hayden, and S. (Who technically has a login here but I don't think ever used it.) We're having a remote wake of sorts, drinking and telling stories and speaking in old-friend in-jokes and TV references, which seems just about right.
I know we've all been saying this, but it is such emotional whiplash to see all these familiar names posting again. I mean, Christ, John H is here! I stayed with you in Sydney in 2003 and then we lost touch when you left the board soon after, but I've thought of you many times since then, and I'll always be grateful to you for hosting me and being so kind to me.
And then I remember why everyone is coming back and I just want to scream.
