cab! So great to see you on the board. I'm so glad that you came and had a good time; it was wonderful to have you there. (I think I slept through saying goodbye to you when you came to pick up Beverly, so I'll give you a virtual goodbye hug now.)

cab, so good to see you here!

Yay! She delurked!

A few things to add:

Highly recommend for spending several hours in a car with: Ginger and Beverly. Both of these remarkable women made our long trip much more delightful and entertaining than it otherwise would have been.

Buffista most likely to succeed at herding cats: Hil, who got a rowdy disorganized rabble of Buffistas in and out of train stations to their various destinations and safely back again. More than once. Thanks, Hil.

Laura and Brendon: Yes, please come visit! I never saw Laura without a smile on her face. These folks were our friends instantly, even though I had to look up to talk to Brendon, something I'm not accustomed to, being 6'3".

Jon B.: Seeing the thereminist in action for the first time was the coolest. I've been earwormed with "Senses Working Overtime" ever since.

Lee: what I said about Laura and Brendon and instant friendship. Just a truly wonderful person.

Hec & JZ: So glad you made time for us in the middle of your honeymoon. Regret that I didn't get much of a chance to talk to either of you.

Anne W: Thanks for hosting the Thursday night BBQ and giving us the chance to meet a smaller group of Buffistas that first night. ND, MM, Aimee et al had us literally laughing so much it hurt.

John Sweden: I got interrupted signing your book and forgot to go back and finish. So that's me that left the woefully incomplete, unsigned note. So glad you came & so glad to meet you.

Fred Pete & Hubs: A wonderful pair. Hubs talked to cab for a long time, and later told me over & over what a wonderful wife I have.

Sean: Got that middle syllable now?

So many others that we enjoyed meeting I can't list them all. It was a blast!

And the Buffistas babes at prom: Gaaaah! OK, my wife is reading now, better not say any more.

cab! I didn't get to say goodbye to you and I'm so glad to see you here!!

On next year's F2F - somehwere there's not a whole lot to do. At least, not as much as NOLA or DC or LA. I'm exhauseted just thinking about it!!

One word, baby: Cincinnati.

There's some stuff to do, but not so many things that you can't choose. AND Skyline Chili!

Fred Pete & Hubs: A wonderful pair. Hubs talked to cab for a long time, and later told me over & over what a wonderful wife I have.

About time someone told him!

FredPete: Tell Hubs I said thanks. I may print this out so I can keep reminding him.

One word, baby: Cincinnati.

Also fairly close to me! (I'm rooting for any place I can convince the Chicagoistas to pick me up along the way.)

We didn't get to talk much, but you and spouse are lovely, lovely people.

What bicyclops said.

Jess, I'll check my camera manual and see if I can figure out how to flip the vid clips. There must be a way. Those clips are too cute to watch sideways!!

My .02 on the F2F flu - I think the hotel rm air was stale and full of nasty things. amyth and I woke up both mornings all congested and feeling yucky. So Cassiepants != patient zero.

Yup, still at work. Want to be out of here by 2 or so.

Off to a meeting...

In what way is Ann Arbor on the way to Cincy from Chicago?

(Says the woman w/o a car -- the nerve of me.)

In what way is Ann Arbor on the way to Cincy from Chicago?

The supercrazyAWESOME way.

Okay, on actually looking at a map, it's not so super or awesome. Cleveland is more what I should be pushing for. I'm telling you guys: HELLMOUTH.
