Oh, no. I have met, eaten hummus with, and bantered with him. (Unless she rented a gigolo for the weekend, which is something I hadn't considered until right this moment....hmmmm....)
We've even got him on video.
Anya: Are you stupid or something? Giles: Allow me to answer that question with a firing.
'Sleeper'
F2F 2: Is there anybody here that hasn't slept together?
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!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Up with the sun
The list looks great, but you're counting Sheryl (& fiancee, maybe) twice.

There will probably be more. Not everybody plans this far ahead.

I can't even.
Just booked my hotel room tonight for Friday through Sunday. I had to call direct (202-638-1616), the 1-800 number doesn't work for Canadia (no big, just thought I'd mention it). The person at the other end was very capable and I have a lovely email confirmation number.

Ditto here for Friday and Saturday nights. I'm flirting with the idea of booking the penthouse at the Tabard Inn Sunday night and inviting stragglers to come by for a smaller afterparty. (It's WAY more room than Garrat and I'll need, but it's not much more expensive than the medium sized room I'd otherwise go for and in addition to allowing for socializing it would also ensure me a claw-footed bathtub.) Of those sticking around for Sunday night, would any of you be interested in dining in the Tabard's garden patio (here's a look at a sample dinner menu)and then heading upstairs for drinks, conversation, and whatnot?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Incidentally, I lurved both aforementioned DH's. I talked sports with Laura's and tech with Jess's. I thought the Buffista husbands were sweet, if a little bemused by all the corsets and the spanking.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Heh. Trust me, mine's right at home with both of those, but he isn't coming along for this one.
I have a question/suggestion/strong hint to toss out there. You remember that last year, in LA, there was bowling?
Well - does anyone play pool? 9-ball to be specific, but really, any form of pool? And if yes, is there a pool parlour anywhere nearby for an outing? Because damn, do I miss 9-ball.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
My pool game is pretty terrible, but I know of two pool halls in DC, one in Dupont Circle and one in Georgetown. There might be others, too.

Hil, mine's as rusty as a 19th century rowboat; I haven't picked up my cue (a custom beauty, 21 ounces, green and black, with his own case) since before the MS diagnosis. I probably suck like a whirlpool right now.
But I'd love to try.
