Still in the "Kick husband until he seeks out deals on airfare" stage.
I'll research it for you! I will I will I will!

You can't open the book of my life and jump in the middle. Like woman, I'm a mystery.

F2F 2: Is there anybody here that hasn't slept together?
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: New Orleans! May 20-22, 2005!

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

It was the Wednsday before. And in fact, it was the day I met both aurelia and meara in person for the first time.
Huh, I didn't remember that was your birthday, Sean! But I remember the evening. :)
YAY for F2F! YAY for all the people coming!
Exorcist Steps! Yeehaw! The crew team used to have to run up and down them.

If it's any help Plei, I found a one-way Air Trans fare from Memphis to Boston on Expedia.com that was 25% lower than the best rate travel agents could give me.

Deb, Jet Blue is $218 non-stop SFO to Dulles roundtrip. I just booked 5/17 - 5/24.
Hey, I wanted to mention that we have an obligation to buy food/bev from the hotel (it works out to roughly $20/person, like last year) and while we've been talking about a buffet/reception for the Prom night, it doesn't have to be. We could have Saturday or Sunday brunch instead, or something.

Ooh, brunch sounds kinda tempting...OTOH, we probably want foodish things around for the prom anyway, so...

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
We definitely want a bar for Prom, and IME, hotel party food is generally of a highter quality than hotel breakfast/brunch food.

Bar at the prom. Cash bar I'm assuming.
I'd like munchies at the prom.

Hmm, I do want to do some camping back there. Someone will let me UPS my tent, bag, thermarest, hiking boots to their house in advance so I don't have to drag it around on the plane? I'm so used to the huge temperature drops at night out here, I'm not sure if a mid-weight poly sleeping bag is good enough for late-ish May or if I need a mid or heavy down bag. Any campers know?

Hey. Unfortunately, no. I'm out. My major granting organization is coming to hear my kids plink at their pianos that Friday, so I have to schmooze and rehearse and soothe stage fright.
