I might want to be in on the driving. Though it would mean me driving out to Somerville from Northampton and keeping my car there all weekend long, which will cost an unknown sum of money which may invalidate the saving-money-by-driving proposition. Still, it's a thought.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

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!

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
I am looking forward to this enormously. If I can't find an affordable flight, I may have to fling myself into the Nile.
...that's all I've got. Other than to say that Tom shouldn't worry about people being scary, because the thing of it is that everyone's in much the same boat, or at least a lot of us are, with the whole confident/shy thing.
I am SO excited that Hec'n'JZ will drop by! And La Lizard and the fair Reema! And Holli! I am also horribly tempted to go to the zoo and the Natural History Museum just to watch billytea frollicking in his natural environment.

Fay, btw, I got a letter of feedback for you by someone who was confused-- somehow my computer has no memory of what your current email address is, though. Can I have it again?

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?

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Woo hoo, Fay's coming!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Who told you about the frolicking? Anyway, it's all baseless slander. I've never licked a 'fro in my life.

I just got a message from expedia offering to help me plan hotel stays and car rentals while I'm travelling to Boston. here's my reply to their feedback address:
I appreciate the offer of help planning other aspects of my trip to Boston, but the situation is already well in hand.
I would like to comment that encouraging people to rent cars in Boston is likely to end in tears when uninformed visitors find out that only the criminally insane drive in that city. I think they would be far better served if you informed them about the excellent public transportation system and the proximity of recommended hotels to subway, trolley, and train stops. That way they'll have a more enjoyable experience, and live to travel via expedia again another day.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
HA!
Loving Matt, again.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

The PTB have decided that they will close both North Station *and* I-93 for the duration of the Democratic convention this summer. It's gonna be ugly.

Hmm. Didn't the French Revolution and the following Reign of Terror flare up over similar burdens laid on the commoners?
