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!

We could also have an East Coast mini-f2f at our place this summer.

I am so deadly serious.
First weekend of August would be my first choice, but I'm very flexible. Whee!
Yeah, with my job the trips tend to be very last-minute "oh crap, someone needs to be there, let's send someone from in house" things. I have to wait to see what dates the woman I'd be training sets up.

I would so be there.
PS Lee: this one IS good, but you were right about the other one.
I'm confused. What am I right about?
I'm confused. What am I right about?
Didn't you call that whole "world is round" thing? You've got game.
What am I right about?
Everything. That should cover it, and also befits your shiny new medal.
Oh, and save some floor space for me, Kristin. I only require feeding once a day, and minimal amounts of water. Much easier than a houseplant.
Well it's settled then. It doesn't have to be a big production or anything. I'm throwing a Buffista party in August. Anyone who wants to attend is welcome. There are a few beds, some floor, and a lot of outside room for tents. Date TBA.
When Hec and JZ are back, they can weigh in on NOLA in mid-May. But if DC in mid-May was humid enough to melt Sean, NOLA will kill him....
DC was actually hotter and more humid than New Orleans, but that's only one anecdote.
Jacqueline and I got home a few hours ago. So fun to catch up on pictures.
It was so wonderful meeting people I've known online for such a long time. I put dibs on Lizard and Holli and dragged them off to dinner with me.
I didn't even recognize Lizard when I first saw her and I've both (a) talked to her on the phone and (b) seen roughly ninety billion pictures of her. But she was so womanly! She and Reema had so much fun. Really enjoyed spending time with them in person.
Most fun having? Impossible to say, but JohnSweden and Askye looked almost delirious with "Wow! I can't believe I'm here and doing this!"
Most fun bringing? Smonster brought big fun to the Prom all night long. Go Smonster!
Photos don't do justice to Vortex - so fucking gorgeous. Hil's utter adorability is also poorly conveyed via pictures.
I got to meet Holli! I spent a big chunk of time with her grilling her with questions about her boyfriend. I love Holli - she totally indulged my interrogations and teasing.
I got to hug Beverly! Beverly gave us a very thoughtful wedding present, and Ginger gave us some a piece of art from her extensive collection.
Fantastic, obviously to see old friends, and meet up with longtime posting folks for the first time. But I'll probably associate this F2F with meeting people that I've only known for a little bit on the board.
Raquel did such a fantastic job on the medals (as did Deena). And she was so cool and gracious and beautiful. JZ (who had done them all to date) enthusiastically approved of their craftsmanship.
Maria was wonderful - I loved meeting her and getting a chance to talk with her. She really extended herself to the group, and looked after a certain Extremely Drunk and Fun Having Person. She rocked.
DebetEsse was foamy as hell and so sweet hearted and charming.
KristinT - Okay, she might've had as much fun as JohnSweden and Askye. Oh, and she's everything in person that she is on the boards - fun and gracious and warm and kind.
It was great seeing Kate P. again - who I hardly ever get to see on the boards. She looked unbelievably beautiful at Prom.
So I apologize sincerely for hogging up some of the Buffistas at our wedding, because I know that meant at least some of them couldn't make the F2F this year.
Having been to all three F2Fs now, while the first one had a strong theme of BiCurious Girls Go Wild, and the second the infamous Kitchen of Porn, this one had a nearly wholesome free for all quality of dance floor mackage, with all kinds of combinations. Delectable!
Many many thanks to Java Cat - I was very happy to invite her up to receive her medal.
