Mal ,'Out Of Gas'
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!
If you don't mind an outer borough location, I've got a sofa in Brooklyn you can sleep on. It's an easy trip to my place from LaGuardia -- just straight down the BQE.
No idea what the BQE is, but thank you for the offer. I'll keep it in mind, especially since the words "outer borough location" also have no meaning to me.
I'm guessing that most, if not all, of the Nilly-related activities will be taking place in Manhattan, so staying in Brooklyn (my part of Brooklyn, anyway) will add at least half an hour to any commute. (The outer boroughs are the ones that aren't Manhattan -- Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, and the Bronx.)
BQE = Brooklyn-Queens Expressway. Big-ass highway running between Brooklyn and Queens.

Gotcha. You've got a castle in Brooklyn, it's where you dwell.

Ah, of course. Total of five.
If by castle you mean one-bedroom apartment, then yes.
It's a really, really nice one-bedroom apartment. I can testify.
Can I get a witness?
In re my earlier post - yup, I've seen those little kitchen torches - they're nice for creme brulee, gratinee-ing onion soup, etc. I still remember years ago, on the old Dick Cavett Show, Julia Child gratinee-ing onion soup. Only this was before they had the kitchen torches, so she pulled out a full-size blowtorch. Mr. Cavett was startled, to say the least.
I don't know if this would be useful for the F2F or not, but American Airlines offers group discounts on groups of ten or more going to the same place. more info here
Toddson, they're also perfect for the interstices and hand-held control needed for kashering that oven.
Waiting until the very last minute before Nilly arrives to do it, so that I won't have to do it twice.

Dang. No AA here. Wait, that's wrong. No American Airlines here. Yes, that's what I meant.
I have got to stop whining about home. I love it here, really I do. Just not always the being in the middle of nowhere part.
