I had no other ID, having lost my license in the Grand Canyon in the course of my trip. I actually got it mailed back to me, over a year later, by way of the DNR and the DMV.
Riley: Oh, yeah. Sorry 'bout last time. Heard I missed out on some fun. Xander: Oh yeah, fun was had. Also frolic, merriment and near-death hijinks.

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!

Ann, that's a ferret.
Just a quick reminder -- if you haven't already voted in Round 1 of next year's F2F, voting ends tomorrow at 5. (I'll count everything postmarked before 5:00 pm board time.)
Results may be delayed a bit but should be posted NLT 10:00 EDT (7:00 board time, and other times in other time zones).

They let me fly last Thanksgiving with an old student ID - with a bright orange sticker on it announcing that it expired in 1992.
I remember travelling into the US, fumbling for my drivers license and the impatient US Customs officer jsut grabbed the first picture ID that appeared, which was my three year since expired student ID. Then he didn't know what Archives were, so I had to explain that...

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'm working out Nilly's itinerary and health insurance, today.
Question for Nilly's New York hosts: She'll be flying from San Fran to New York for the last week of her trip. JFK or La Guardia?

Is Nilly only doing a week on the East Coast?

She said a week and hopefully more. We have to hammer it all out, and it depends on the length of her tourist visa, I would think, and who will be hosting her in New York.
Who is hosting Nilly in New York? I'll need to be in toouch with the person responsible for picking her up from the airport and taking her back so I can make sure they have a copy of her itinerary. I'm not sure if she'll need it for her ticket, but also a name, aaddress, and phone number for her New York host for emergency contact info, and for the airline (in case there's a change in the flight, they'll need to contact her).
I'm also starting her health insurance paperwork (she needs it for her stay), and usually just get the Blue Cross short term plan.
Blue Cross is in NY, right?

I ask because the DCistas really want her to come down, and I have enough volunteers to pay for her ticket, and several hosting offers. I'm happy to coordinate the DC leg of her trip, if that's an issue. Or I can just give you the info that I have.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
The NYC host is Trudy, I believe. Blue Cross is indeed in NY. (Or, at least, I'm 99% sure it is.) If Nilly will be in DC after my exams (which looks likely -- they end on August 27 or maybe 26), my offer to host still stands.

Looks like yes, she's planning a few days in DC.
We;re trying to work out whether we'll have her travel agent work out her itinerary and fax me the bill, or whether I'll do it all here and she can pick up her tickets at the counter. The trip looks complex enough that it'd be better to have her travel agent do it all for her.

Are we still doing okay money-wise, Allyson, or is it still too early to tell?
