Last year most of the outings left from the Hospitality Suite and there was a lot of cell phone wrangling to get last minute changes out. We also put up a cork board at the Hosp. Suite for messages. It all worked quite well.
Honestly, you meet the most appalling sort of people....

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!

Heh. *My* reaction to Sheryl's post was: "There's a ZOO outing planned? When did THAT happen?!?"
Because, y'see, I have no memory whatsoever. None.
In fact, who ARE you people? What is this "F2F"? Some sort of extracurricular activity?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
I'd better check the message board often, since I have no cell phone. (yeah, I'm a dinosaur, whatever)

Name Tag Question:
Am I using last names for the "Real Name" part?
For instance --
Board Name: Pudding Pop O' Love
Real Name: Tim Minear
Or should it just say "Tim"? I honestly can't remember how we've done it in the past.

move out and draw fire

Just got back from the Market Fair at the Claude Moore farm (sort of a small colonial RenFaire). It was Cicada Hell. Every leaf of every apple tree had a shiny brown thing on it...they looked like dates.

Mostly lurking...
Steph, mine from last year just had my first name.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I'd vote for just first names.

Right on. First names only.
Or, perhaps, your new Steph-assigned names.
See, no one should ever give me any modicum of power.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Um, did we really give you power, or did you just take it?
Either way works for me, but then I like my new name.

Well, I offered to make name tags, and people said "That's cool," which I assumed was a tacit handing over of power....
Okay, here is the list of people whose names I have for name tags.
IF you don't see your name, e-mail my profile addy with your board name and the name you'd like to be called.
IF you have a spouse/date/partner/sweetie/sherpa coming with you, and his/her name is NOT on the list below, I do NOT have his/her info, so you might want to e-mail it to my profile addy, unless you don't want us to know his/her name.
