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.
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

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.

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.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
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.

I’m staying at my regular place, the Stanyan Park Hotel, which is near chez Smay, but pricey, and when I booked it a month ago, already pretty full.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
We're staying at the Hotel Majestic. It's close to the venue and looked interesting.
Aftershock!
Eep!
