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.

Back home now. Glad your travels worked today, SA.

Such fun meeting so many buffistas -- lovely, gracious bunch.

Y'know, if he actually *took* the vicodin, *he'd* be finding everything funny and therefore healing himself with laughter.

I like that angle.

Get off work, go home, feed the cats, take the Metro downtown, find Buffistas (randomly in the Metro, no less), stand in an extremely crowded karaoke bar somewhere in Crystal City, go home, sleep, wake up, forget to feed cats, drive downtown (getting stuck in traffic all the way), hang out in a hotel penthouse knitting and talking with Buffistas, marvel at the glittering galaxy of glam which is the Prom, go home, get chewed on by angry cats, sleep, wake up, step out of air conditioned bedroom and curse DC weather for the umpteenth time, drive downtown again and learn that not only do Buffistas knit, they also spin their own yarn on amazing travelling spinning wheels, go home, shop for groceries, get Bil fed before he goes off to work and pretend it's just an ordinary Sunday.

I have no idea what I'm going to say tomorrow if anyone asks what I did this weekend. If it's not Nascar, soccer or beer, they don't much care.

Back home now. Glad your travels worked today, SA.

It was all thanks to you. I appreciate it so much; I probably would have been standing around going "Wuh?" if you didn't help me get around. So thank you, so much, Jen.

We should tell him this.

I skipped to the end because, somehow, in a hotel full of Buffistas I didn't manage to get online until right now. You'd think with all the room changes I made that I would have managed to snags someone's computer.

Right now I'm at Anne's with Beverly and Kate P. We got in, tired and laden with luggage and in desperate need of a sherpa when Jeeves tried to make his escape. Only the quick thinking of Bev (who made a one handed grap/hold) kept him from an afterdark cicada killing excursion.l

First-- Teppy danced with Scola--I'm so JEALOUS!!!

Next--MY GOD are the buffistas foamy!! And Pandalicous!!! I haven't seen the pictures but hopefully someone will post Trudy and I all decked out in our panda gear. In front of a Panda.

Also---This was my first F2F and I've wanted to go since Chicago and I don't live near most of you so I crammed in over Three YEARS of Buffistas time in one Prom. I tried to get as much enjoyment out of every minute and that kind of backfired last night.

My biggest regret of the weekend is standing at the naked mole rat exhibit in the zoo trip with billytea and NOT Getting a picture of him there.

Considering my weekend that says something about me. Of course if you were AT the Prom I probably told you that or someone you were standing near. Repeatedly and emphatically.

There will be more. I am interested in seeing what everyone has to say about the night.

I haven't always been active on the board or maybe said as much to people as I wanted to.. but y'all are amazing. The kindness of Buffistas is a beautiful thing.

Even when you've just met and your hockey team beat theirs.

Now I must go and see pictures.

edited to add missing words so I make sense.

F2F was lots of fun. Now I miss everyone.

Great pictures. (It seems like there are a lot more pictures of my hair than pictures of my face, but that's probably partly because I have a tendency to turn away when I notice a camera. My hair looks better in photos than my face does, anyway.) I'll have my pictures up within a few days.

Buffistas are all very foamy.
