Yay!
Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
That is quite the pleasant overdue surprise, David!
I just checked in with Julianna and Sylvie and they'll be joining me next week to tour the venue for the Memorial. I'll be leaning on them for some localista assistance as I pull the Memorial together.
Oh dang, I need to get plane tickets and book a hotel. Okay, doing that this weekend.

Same. Any suggestions on where to stay would be appreciated.
So, is there a dress code for the memorial?
Also, I have to share something. My boss is retiring. My boss is very anti-fuss. She does not want a party, or gift, or a department event, or anything like that. I have respected that, but some of my colleagues are insisting on doing something (why gawd, why?). I have inadvertently been roped into the fuckery because I was asked if I know how to superimpose words on a picture. When I stupidly said yes, they asked me to superimpose a poem that my colleague wrote over a photo. Y'all, I got the poem today and I think that it was written by AI. The first stanza is:
In the quiet corridors of office lore,
Where deadlines hummed and memos soared,
There stood a manager, wise and kind,
Her brilliance a beacon, forever enshrined.
So, is there a dress code for the memorial?
Dress in your best, splendid style with lots of color.
That's some kind of Corporate Poem, alright.
Wow, Vortex. What else can you say but wow.
hugs to everyone who wants them.
Vortex, that is. Well. That.
Any suggestions on where to stay would be appreciated.
Anyone who has any questions/concerns/etc. about where to stay in SF can email me at my profile gmail account, and I'll be happy to help. Budget/timeframe/desired amenities are good things to add in said email. (Unless, David, you have specific ideas of where folks should stay)

Not really. They might want to be closer to the venue for the Memorial or closer to the Haight but that's up to them.
We are staying at the Hotel Adagio. It's a Marriott property that's nearby and that's where all of my points are. Looks like it should be a nice place.
