vigorously sought out kitchen gossip after the last F2F.

He did, it's true. Pried all my not-so-secrets out. :)

ND, I think we haven't figured out what exactly we're getting food and bartender wise, so how much that would be per person....though I suppose we could just estimate...if we go over, we can buy extra hospitality suite sodas or something.

Oh yeah - Emily, VW and KateP - I'm definitely renting a car, so we is all set to get to the hotel.

Awesome, thanks Jon!

I want my stalker back.

Don't worry, babe. I'll stalk you good the rest of the weekend.

I'm getting a compact (like a Ford Focus) so there may be luggage on your laps.

No problem, I don't think I'll be bringing too much with me. Though the boots and the corset do take up some space... I'll figure something out.

Well, we pay for drinks, but we need to pay for the bartender and also for the food from the hotel for the party. We need to start collecting soon I'd think just to make sure we've got our ducks in a row.

Oh, um, I'm coming. Is there something I need to do? vw's been making all the arrangements as my brain leaked out my ear last week.

I think the Localistas are getting going on that. I'm not really sure who's heading it up so maybe someone else will comment on what's going on.

ND, there was a guy in a grey twill Utilikilt at the shin-dig stuff at the finish line of the Big Sur marathon. I thought of you.

I keep thinking this; hear goes the asking - leather in May? like, linen would be more comfortable.

Java cat, amyth is also attending. Thanks for putting that list together.

I'm thinking the leather is only going to be worn in the hotel, where hopefully everything is airconditioned.
