Cincinnati actually has a Holocaust museum, which I only recently discovered. I haven't been to it yet.
I may be love's bitch, but at least I'm man enough to admit it.

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!

I haven't been to the Holocaust museum. I need to go, I want to go, but I'm still not over seeing Auschwitz, and that was 10 years ago.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I won't be going a second time.
What Jessica said. I do want to see the Wall, however.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Last time I went to the Holocaust museum was when it first opened, when I was about 14. I will be going again, but not this weekend. I need more time to reflect than this weekend will allow.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
I'm still not over seeing Auschwitz, and that was 10 years ago.
Yes. I couldn't agree with you more. And I know, I'm not supposed to get over that stuff, but there's only so much standing in the shadow of that much evil that I can tolerate without my heart exploding, or without taking the next bazillionaire movie star who has to be coaxed into saying the Holocaust happened and slamming his head repeatedly into a brick wall.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Sort of off the museum topic, but a few weeks ago I had to deliver some albums and stuff to this guy at his office.
The walls are lined with beautiful photos the man took in Isreal and his grandfather at one of the camps (he was a survivor). One of my favorites was of an old man leaning over reading what I assumed was the Torah, and it almost look like the text is lighting his face. If it weren't unprofessional, I would have cried right there.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
I remembered that i had promised to bring a mike stand for Jon's theremin performance. i hope that doesn't screw him up too badly.
Eeep! Anyone else have access to a mic stand?

I too am a solid middle-aged person. I have my own business. I've had extensive background checks. I only own a small axe.
Only Buffistas...

Just a note on both the spy museum and the Holocaust Museum--make sure you either get tickets ahead of time (can you really do so online? if so, I suggest soon) or get there early in the morning. They are very popular, and tickets to see the main museums sell out early.
So says the girl that trooped around DC to see both and both times managed to get there after all the main tickets had been sold last fall.
Also, Holli--add to the list of comfort for the 'rents: Nationally Certified high school English teacher here. Just led a group of teenagers to England and back without losing a one. Passed background checks and all as well.

I reminded your tiara-er. Sternly. Perhaps I will do so again now.
Yo! Person who was to have bestowed a tiara upon smonster in the fall 2003 tiara exchange: you will BOTH be at the F2F! Mayhap it would be a good time to bestow said tiara.
