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.

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!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
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

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

Thanks, erikaj. I just went back and watched Bowling for Columbine. It's not quite as good as Fahrenheit, but the man is brilliant.

One of my mom's friends when I was really little was a librarian, and I just thought she was The Shit, so that really made me smile. And seconding the MM emotion. Ok, enough natter now.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Just not always the being in the middle of nowhere part.
S'why I left, libkitty. I deeply sympathize.
Yay librarians!!
On-topic: I've got some preliminary offers in from hotels, and the deals are looking pretty good. Go convention-oriented town!
Sadly, I don't think I'll be able to make it to the Nilly-Q. Stupid finances.

My only consolation, juliana, is that I get to see you, even if it's just for five minutes at the post-ceremony party, about three days after the Nilly-Q.
Reminds me, can you link me to the festivities list? tess and I will be sharing a room at the Millenium.

Juliana, I've never done thee before. Did you e-mail or mail? To how many? How many replied? Did you change anything in the RFP?
