Yes it is!

And that picture that Lyrajane and her dh? Very foamy.

Loved the hat, and the whole outfit. Very Vamp!Willow.

Crap. Photos uploaded but it's getting late and I have had *no* sleep for a week and it's thundering besides, so I shall taunt promise y'all that I will caption and link asap.

*smooches*

It was nice to get to meet some of the Spousal Units (or soon-to-be-official SU in the case of Sheryl's Gary) and find out what fun people they were and how worthy of Buffista affection. Hopefully, we didn't scare them too much!

They were fab, Connie. I loved Tony, such a sweet man.

I hardly got to speak to Tony, what with one thing or another, which is yet another regret -- however, to judge by the grin on his face, he was having a great time with Fred's friends. Bicyclop's Cheryl (sp?) and Lyra's Patrick, and Sheryl's Gary, though, I got lots of delightful conversation with. The Miracleborn's friend Andrew also fit in like a Buffista born.

Now that I look at some of the pictures, I'm amazed by how few people I actually conversed with. There just wasn't enough time -- seriously, I talked and talked and talked and I still didn't interact with half enough of them. I should probably make a list next year and check off people as I talk to them, so I can keep track of how I'm doing....

Sweet Italian Jesus.

My feet hurt SO badly.

Random initial post-F2F comments:

*don't pack ONLY stupid shoes if you're going to walk around a big city
* Maria? So. HOTT.
* Raquel? So. HOTT. (And she looks like someone from TV or movies -- a lot of us thought so, but nobody could think of who.)
* I don't believe in the cicadas.
* Our bartender from last night is traumatized.
* MM and NoiseDesign must NEVER be allowed in Vatican City.
* Fred Pete and Hubs are not only a damn good-looking couple, they're also a cute-as-hell couple.
* Ditto for the Lizard and Reema.(AND I got to mack on Lizard!)
* I have walked a mile (okay, 3 blocks) in Holli's shoes, and she in mine, and now we understand each other, man.
* Brendon? Still tall.
* Geeking out by the pool with Holli about superheros and Frodo-N-Sam's pure love? Supah fun.
* Finally getting to play backgammon with Jess? Fabulous.
* Who has cool new hair color? Trudy and smonster, that's who.
* Vortex's boobs are mesmerizing.
* I wasn't hungover either morning. The Apocalypse must be upon us.
* If this bumper sticker is blue, you're going too fast.
* Vietnam Wall? Still renders me speechless and teary.
* My hotel room was, I'm fairly certain, actually in Maryland.
* Marriage seems to agree with the Zmayhems, who were spectacularly happy.
* vw and I have very good taste in dresses.
* I still have glitter on my arms.
* DebetEsse and Plei look eerily alike.
* Did I mention Vortex's boobs?
* I danced with Scola!
* "Lovesick Ass" ROOOLZ.
* And finally, MM and Sean must *never* slam-dance. Because the resulting injuries affect more than Sean's ribs. IJS.

I didn't mean to leave anyone off this list; it's late and my feet hurt and I gotta go to bed and these are just my *initial* random thoughts.

Will post pictures tomorrow.

The Miracleborn's friend Andrew also fit in like a Buffista born.

So that's who that was! I was wondering who Andrew was.

Now that I look at some of the pictures, I'm amazed by how few people I actually conversed with.

I got in more actual talk-time this year than I did last year, which made me happy. But still, so many people, so little time.

DebetEsse and Plei look eerily alike.

Dood. They so do. Deb and I were saying this.

I danced with Scola!

No way! Jealous, much?

Because the resulting injuries affect more than Sean's ribs. IJS.

Though I gotta say, damn funny when he goes: "*coughcough* OWWWWW!" because he does it with this pissed-off growl in his voice that's so very un-Seanlike that it's amusing as hell.

And Maria? DAMN hot.

I had a great time meeting everyone. I took off this evening to see a friend, but I hope everyone else is having a good time at the Tabard Inn. We're leaving to drive back early in the morning. I have pictures, but they'll have to wait until I get home, since I'm on dialup. I hope everyone has a safe trip home.

Buffistas are all about the compassion, yo.

Well, it's *funny* compassion. Heal with laughter, and all.
