Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

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!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Still nothing, Tep?

[eta, I sent you an email with no attachment, just to make sure that wasn't causing the problems. Let me know if you don't get it.]

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I *just* got the e-mail with the attachment, maybe 10 minutes ago! I've been fiddling with the name tags since then.

I can't remember what the name tags looked like last year! And if I kept mine, I sure can't find it. I don't want to make them look lame.

If they have names on them, they will not be lame.

Also, okay, I have to admit to a financial issue. The nametags came in boxes of 50. So I bought one. If we have more than 50, it looks like it'll be only a few more than 50. And honestly, I can't just drop another $20-plus for maybe 5-10 nametags out of a box of 50.

I guess what I'm asking is, how final is our head count? And, well, what do I do on the extra nametags? I don't want to shaft people (I'll forgo my own nametag -- everyone seems to know who I am immediately, anyway), but I also don't feel real good at the idea of spending another $20-plus for a few more nametags.

But, like I said above, Vortex's head count is 49-ish. So....?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I'll use the one from last year, if it helps.

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket

I think that's because Vortex's count doesn't double-count to take couples into consideration-- for example, Reema isn't listed, even though she will be coming. But Java counts for both of us:

50. Rebecca Lizard & Reema 51. Rebecca Lizard & Reema

I think the answer is, hm, I don't know. How about we just make the most distinctive people not get nametags? (Joke, joke.)

cereal:

I will make and bring my own nametag, if necessary!

It will have sparkles.

Tep--I'd gladly kick in $20 to help offset the nametag price.

Our wings are not tired

So currently the main music mix for the F2F is sitting at 198 songs. That's 13 hours of music. I'm still trying to pare it down. Anyone think we can just party until the music runs out?

Tep, I can just use my nametag from last year, if it helps.

And I remember to bring it.

Also?

I had previously been cautiously optimistic about my ability to deal with the cicadas, but the email from Lee's (?) relative finally pinged me. I think it was the sheer numbers.

I will be spending most of the weekend cowering indoors, twitching in the corner, with Jess. Thankyouverymuch.
