Wow, that is some A+ post-holiday efficiency!
Is this the time to mention that I am seated at the bar at Buddy Guy’s club, finishing up my Christmas cards while I wait for the man to come on?
I'm going to see to Wesley, see if he's still whimpering.

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.

Vampires are gonna get you. But they will be HOT vampires, so that's okay.

Efficiently stretching the holiday vibe one more weekend!
I'm about to go roll over to Alembic where I'm meeting Emmett and his GF and feeding them French Onion Soup and Scotch Eggs and Winter Warmer cocktails.

Dang, the crossword puzzle tournament sold out super quick! I'm sad to say I won't be going after all. I had already more or less decided not to go after a surprise $3,000 water heater replacement (happy new year!) but still a bit surprised. Have fun, puzzlers!

Oh, boo!

DOUBLE boo. That's not the good kind of surprise. At all.
Impressive work there, David. Kudos to all, and enjoy the outing!
You, too, Brenda!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Fuck, I missed registering on time too. Maybe we can still get together if there's a critical mass of Buffistas in town?

There will be at least three! Which, when added to those of you who are close-ish... definitely a quorum, amirite?
Fuck, I missed registering on time too.
And also, boo to this part.

Heck yes on the getting together. I’m planning to come in on Friday sometime during the day and leave Sunday afternoon or evening.
The bulk of the crossword thing is Saturday daytime and Sunday morning.

It’s moving to Philadelphia next year apparently, which I expect is related to the sellouts.
