Deb, will do. Ima e you when I finish the beta and kill two birds.

tired bounce

Laura and I plan now to meet in the Hospitality Suite around 5.

I'll be there. I expect I'll be getting to DC noonish. It kinda sounds like the HS is a good place to locate right off ... what with the possibility of finding people there or, at least, random bits of information that might lead to people. I think I'll go with that.

I'm getting in Thursday night, but I was just figuring I could check the Hospitality Suite and meet up with people that way. I'm thinking about the Smithsonian on Friday, if anyone's interested. I'm leaning towards American History and/or Natural History (which has a baseball exhibit). Sometimes I lean towards the spy museum.

Vortex, my one true love, you'll have access to everyone's cells, yes? May I check it out, at need?

does boobie shimmy dance cause I get to go to the F2F

Oh, hell fuck yes!!!

*ahem*

Yo, that's cool, Cass.

amyth and I will also be milling about the HS Friday ISO some hot Buffistas lookin' for a good meal. We're aiming for early afternoon arrival.

Will all the attendees get a copy? Be a big help.

You never e-mailed me, BTW.)

Did too!

Okay, now I have.

I'm here! I'm in DC, at Raquel's. Sat. = Hec & JZ wedding & awesome reception; Sun. = Jen K & Jon B & Katerina Bee & I went to the Marin Headlands, Marine Mammal Center, and Rodeo Beach; Mon. = at Raquel's in DC!! It's a Buffistas kind of week.

Okay, tip for anyone renting a car at Dulles. THE ROADS ARE INSANE!! They don't tell you when you are getting onto an expressway from which THERE IS NO EXIT!! ARGHH!! Raquel is such a generous hostess, however, that she has provided me access via laptop and I have raided the 'fridge for a cold ale and ... Oh boy! Washington! I have not witnessed cicadadom yet.

Dang, who said upthread that he/she wanted to go to the spy museum? Me too! I wonder if we can coordinate.

Tip: you can get the "museumgoer's guide" at the incoming terminals, but not the baggage claim area, according to the newstand man near baggage claim. Things that I remember are v. close to the hotel without my notes are: postal museum, Supreme Court, Library of Congress, Folger Shakespeare Library, Taft Memorial, Peace Monument, Grant Monument, Garfield Monument, and the Capitol.

I'd like to lick the Library of Congress.

And lurk at the Spy Museum.

I did waaaay back. I would have to go on Sunday, though.
