"Actually, it's more of a guideline than a rule... "

Ok. Looks like I'll need an earlish ride to Union Station on Friday morning.

Philadelphia here I come.

At least work is paying for the ticket.

Matt the Bruins Fan: Want 40/30 of mine? I have it to spare. If I can share, it might help both of us with regard to temperature sensitivity.

deborah grabien: Matt, I should just stand somewhere with you at one side and Kristin on the other; that way, some internal regulation of mad themo-jumping might ensue.

Yes Matt, I'll take some of your blood pressure, and then we shall keep Deb warm and cozy between us.

Also?

"That's a big Twinkie."

And just to sum up my feelings about the F2F,

"I love this plan. I'm excited to be a part of it."

DX wins!!! On topic goodness!

To recap how *I* always end up feeling in the mornings during the F2F:

"I feel like the floor of a taxicab."

Ghostbusters/F2F: "Cats and dogs, sleeping together!"

So, wait, Aimee, you're flying in here, and then going to Philly during the fun on Friday? (At least, I hope there will be fun on Friday)?

I think traditionally, we tried to get people to paypal as much of the prom money as possible beforehand, so that we didn't miss out on people in the confusion of the actual weekend (because we all know that 'Oh, yeah, I need to pay you money...eh, when we get back to the room/I get an ATM/I'll owe you for dinner" doesn't work out so well, but neither does someone standing at the door demanding a ticket).

There's a list that Vortex is putting together, right? are we getting that before the F2F in case we are shy and Eureka! it turns out someone is coming/going from the airport within 30 minutes of us after all?

Oh, and there's this list, too:

I have a vested interest in collecting, since it's on my credit card. Also, a brand new pay pal account. How'd we do it last year? Mail checks or pay pal Kat, right?

Last year it was done through Pay Pal. I think Kat was the point on that. I've offered twice in thread to collect payment through pay pal and had no response.
