Oh yes, what amych said. We are meeting at Fullsteam in Durham. I can't remember if you live close to Durham these days, but we'd love to have you join us.
Well, look at you. All dressed up in big sister's clothes.

ita's thread
A place where we can talk about ita, miss ita, and share information about memorials. The hugging started over here in Natter.

Raq, you made me laugh on a day when laughing is pretty spare. Her links. God. It was her terrible links that made me hover and check before clicking.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Yes bonbon! Specific. She was so specific in almost everything. The type of silver earring she liked, her breakfast cereal, haircut.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I can't make it real or unreal. It is frustratingly liminal.
Yeah, this.
I'm going to be in LA for NAMM in a week and a half or so, so if there's anything I can do during my short stay, I am also available.

She would always send me links to new styles of silver ankhs she had ran across, and then remind me that I should just get one as a tattoo.

Thank you, Allyson, for posting about what happened. Much love to you, Kristen, Polgara, and Burrell.
I'm glad I got to meet her in person at the LA F2F at the Safari Inn. I always looked forward to reading her posts. She was so ferociously intelligent, and fierce about what she said, did, opined.

“Not dead yet!”
An everlasting regret will be that I never got to meet her in person. She was so dynamic and larger-than-life, however, I kinda always felt as if I had.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Did anyone contact Beverly?
