I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

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!

Looks like you haven't decided where to go for the East Coast leg of the trip. If you end up in Boston, you're more than welcome to stay with Emily and me...we've only got a couch, but it's yours.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I need to check if Tim will be here, too, Nilly, since he ponied up a third and is giddy to meet you.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

sniff

I was hoping to catch you in LA (as I have a place to stay there) but I'll still be at Interlochen the 2nd week of Aug. Sad now.

Our wings are not tired

I can drive Nilly up to SF as long as the drive is after August 15th. I'll be in Ojai from the 8th to the 15th.

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

It looks as though the coordination for Allyson-Kristen-Tim and the LA part of the road trip can be easily coordinated with the SF part of it. My thinking was that the drive up would happen on whichever Friday works for everyone, and it would have to happen early in the day; Nilly can't be in a car after sunset on a Friday night, because it's technically the Jewish sabbath, if I'm remembering properly.

ND, would your schedule allow you to drive back on Monday, rather than Sunday? That would give us the Saturday for the BBQ (Nilly wouldn't have to be in a car; all she'd have to do it sit, enjoy herself mightily, and eat), and all day Sunday to show her around the Bay Area.

And who else would be coming up in the car? Sean?

Yeah, my schedule is open. I could also bring her up on Thursday that way we've got no worries about getting caught driving after sunset on Friday.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Don't want to sound like I'm trying to show-up VW, but I already sent Nilly an email offering to put her up in my guest bedroom (complete with high-speed internet access!) should her travels take her to Boston.

And if she can't make it up here, I'm seriously considering a trip to L.A. and/or S.F.

Ah...you have a whole guest bedroom. That definitely sounds like a better deal.

Boston Nilly party at Jon's house! For everyone in Somerville and Boston and all those New Englandy-type places!

(or you could all come to California...)

ND, Thursday would work fine for me. We just need to await the LA logistics, because those definitely come first.

Nilly in Boston!! If that happens I can visit too! Yaaay!
