Emily, MM, AImee and I all also fled Michigan, but that was before we were Buffistas.
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 were Buffistas; you just didn't know it.

Buffistas in waiting?
Java, I'm betting no one thinks you have anything to apologize for.
Seconded. Even if we (Deena and I) weren't there. Java, you did an amazing job on relatively short notice and everyone looked to be having a hell of a lot of fun in the pictures.
With all due respect to Java's city selection, I am not going near Texas anywhere near summer. I've been, thanks, and never again, not between March and October. One tornado, one tarantula emerging from under a friend's patio table (and that was just outside Austin), one fire ant outbreak, one being stuck indoors for three days because of a bee swarm (near El Paso, IIRC).
The wiring is not an adequate tradeoff. Maybe for a late autumn thing, but May-June, when there's weather, and insect life? Pass-a-dena.
One of the things that amazed me about living in Arizona (whitefont for the arachnabug squeamish) was that tarantulas migrate. I found that out after one day noticing about 10 of them wandering across my yard in the same direction. They never bothered me as much as other bugs (centipedes, ewww!) do.
Sorry, Susan.

Never living in the Southwest. Never. Ever. I'm all but screaming and pulling my feet off the floor just imagining it.
Spiders don't bother me, not so much. As long as they're not, you know, on me. But bees? Or any sort of stinging insect? Can you say anaphylaxis, baby?
I do OK with garden-variety spiders as long as they're not on me, but tarantulas....no. Too big. It ain't right.
