Damn. It sounds so yummy and fun, plus manicures and pedicures and walks in SF. I so want to come!
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

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!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I have a favor to ask. I've been so out of the loop. Could someone email me Nilly's LA plans so I can figure out a good time to meet her? I was talking about her visit this weekend, and then I suddenly realized I had NO IDEA when I'd get to see her.
I will, shortly, to your profile address, Burrell.
Actually, I lied and I sent it to your work email. Let me know if I should resend.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
For folks who are interested, the walk between Deb's place and mine is about 15 minutes - though a detour through the park would take longer. The park is relatively flat, and very pretty.
This sounds wonderful. I'd love to. Also, I am a very good sous-chef, if directed, and though cranky-starting some chilly mornings, I'm a little engine who just chugs through lists of chores, so Deb, count on my help for the background prep. I'ma have to bail on long walking tours and hills (like Laura's, my knees won't do the downhills so much anymore), and while I'd love to go along to the pedi-mani place for the company and the poufy dog, no toes for me, thanks. So I can be cleaning or chopping or visiting or sommat. No dearth of company or occupations, I'm thinking.
EeeeeE!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Some stuff in Golden Gate Park. See Map
Here's the Conservatory of Flowers
And Lindy Hopping (swing dancing) in the park.
And the Sharon Art Studio (where you can study stained glass)
Or you can go boating on Stow Lake (one of Emmett's favorite activities)
Plus an AIDS Memorial Grove, a Shakespeare Garden and a Bison paddock.

Thrive to spite them
Deb, is the chocolate dessert anything like what you made when I was there?

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I have wine (although more is always welcomed!)
I full well realize it's coals to Newcastle, but I'm going to bring a bottle of Cincy wine that wins national awards year after year. (Full disclosure: the grapes are from Mendocino county, so I realize its origin is not Cincy. However, the winemaker IS in Cincy, and it's produced here.)

I'd be happy to go in on alcohol purchases, but I don't think Georgia makes any alcohol that's worth the effort to cart it across the country. Cheese, maybe, but definitely not wine.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Lee, can you send it to me too? I don't seem to be on the LAisitas list anymore and I'm afraid I'm gonna miss something.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I will send it to you both, but I won't be able to until tonight.
Robin, there is a new list, which I am not sure you are on, but there have not been any Nilly emails sent. Allyson and others aren't on the list, so most of the planning has been done in this thread.
