I would love that - I don't want to wear out my welcome on anybody.

Um, not to be rude, but PFFTTT. That is so NOT something that would ever happen.

Echoing Lee's PFFTTT, over here.

Time to coordinate the NorCal swing will be a good thing. I knew ND and Lee and Sean wanted to come up for the party; I have the queen-sized air mattress these days, and there are a whole lotta Bay Area people.

I will *so* be there for this, BTW.

Oh, hell yes you will, lady. Otherwise I'd have to come get you.

I do want to, but I am not sure I will be able to, if it doesn't take place on a weekend, and maybe not even then. I have to play it by ear.

I'm seriously pouting over here in Texas.

Can't see Seany's pics of all the foamy Buffistas (want). And I don't know if I can swing a trip to Cal to see Nilly and Calistas. I close on the new house end of June, and I have no idea if my budget for monthly expenses is a) realistic or b) going to leave travel funds so soon.

Feeling very, very pouty today.

I'm still trying to figure out when I'll be able to go meet Nilly. Looks like my best bet will be going up to NYC for a day or two while she's there. (I know where all the cool kosher restaurants are there.)

Like I said before, I'm afraid I don't dare to commit to any specific dates until I have my visa in my hands. Just keeping that in mind.

Yay!

The one thing I suspect will require a few explanations and adjustments will be the Saturdays - some of the rules look downright strange even for me (and I'm keeping them!) when out of context. I do believe that all it means is that there will be a few interesting conversations on the subject (and I love talking to you guys about this stuff, so that's actually a good thing), and weekend-fun will have to be limited to late Saturday night or Sunday.

{{Astarte}} I mean, it's great about the house, but it still doesn't mean you don't get to feel pout-y. I would very much love to be able to meet you F2F.

Morning, peeps! I apparently needed to catch up on some sleep, as I just slept for eleven hours.

For those people who see question marks or blank pages on my photos, I believe that yes, it is bandwidth issues. I know all the pictures are there, and even I occasionally get the "Cannot Display Page" page.

Hmmmm. Hmmm.

Trying to plot out if I can sneak away and see Nilly in SF. Well, we'll see what's going on when the dates are set.

Hmmmm.

Oh, and I'd like to share Z's brain-dump of a list of MSP's attractions:

huge theater scene - both small and large, scuplture garden, orchestra hall, minneapolis institute of the arts, walker art center, the james J. hill house, the gangster tours of the wabasha street caves, fort snelling, swedish american institute, mall of america, stillwater, valleyfair, canterbury downs, casinos, taylor's falls, rockin' downtown scene, stone arch bridge, mill city museum, mn science museum, 4 major sports teams, about 50 historic houses, the artist formally known as someone other than what he'd like to call himself other than prince, the franconia scupture garden, southdale (the first enclosed mall in the usa), miracle mile (the first shopping "mall" in the usa), the MN zoo - (which f'ing rocks), the state capitol (a site to behold unto itself), a ton of grand ass theater (did i mention that?), a fantabulous downtown scene, some rocking theater (i may be repeating), great food, the best asian restaurants anywhere, and juliana.

I love that man.
