It was so lovely, and so good to see so many of my favorite faces. Thanks so much for organizing the livestream, David.
I just finished watching the whole gathering, and it was just beautiful. Thank you to Lukas for making that livestream happen, David.
I was so glad he was able to pull it together. At some point while I was putting together the collage boards of pictures my brain just glazed over. "I don't even know what I'm doing anymore!" Just lost in the weeds of all the details.
But everything came together. It was really so lovely.
And seeing everyone's faces is amazing.
There was a strange parallel element to the event where it was a Memorial for Jacqueline and
at the same time
a Buffista F2F and I hadn't seen so many people for 5+ years.
So I managed to catch up with that element at the dinner after that Juliana organized. And that was concentrated Buffista fun.
But now I'm exhausted and ready to sleep deep.
Thank you all so much. My heart is full tonight. I feel so lucky to know you, know this place, and to be able to be in SF for the memorial. Thank you, and I love you, and seeing about 30 of you F2F for the first time in 17 years is truly amazing. David, Juliana, megan - thank you so much for organizing today.
And for those of you who are still around and not leaving early tomorrow, Jess and I will meet tomorrow in Fisherman's Wharf. Let us know if you'd like to join.
I got to hug Emmett but did not get a chance to introduce myself to EM. I was very, very glad she was there, though.
I hugged EM so damn hard a few times, the poor love.
I adore all you motherfuckers so much and wish I wasn't flying back home at stupid o'clock.
PS: David, HYDRATE.
Thank you for the birthday wishes! Juliana organized a lovely dinner for me at Scoma!
Happy belated, Vortex!
Hydrate and rest sounds exactly right.
Tried to take BART to the airport only to discover the first train wasn’t arriving for 45 minutes, after I walked to the station. Fun to see all the people going the other direction ready to run bay to breakers though! Thankfully my friend kindly got up and drove me here so I’m here in plenty of time. Not sure I can handle breakfast after all that food yesterday though!
I'm somewhat awake. So wonderful to see everyone, and hear all the stories from people in other areas of Jacqueline's life.
Meara, same! We ended up walking about a mile south and grabbed a Lyft when the BART train was so far off. Will make it with enough time since we aren't checking a bag and have pre-check. It was wonderful seeing so many of you. I wish I hadn't been fighting this cold so I could have stayed out later last night.
We should leave for the airport around 1. I'm not sure what we are doing about eating, although I shouldn't eat anything for a week. Can't do a lot of exploring after we check out with our luggage in tow. Coffee now is a very good plan.
