Woooo-hoooooooo!!!! Our plans have changed and I will be around next weekend. I can attend the Nilly-que!!! Deb, if you need a driver for anything, just let me know!

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 Dresden Dolls are in town while Nilly is here. Also, Lavay Smith and the Red Hot Skillet Likkers (great sassy swing band).
Lyra Jane, was that Washington Post article you linked to about Red Heifer? If so, it does look good, but I think it's going to be too expensive. (Or, at least, out of my price range.) Looks like most entrees are at least $30, with a few in the twenties and several above $40. Menu.

What night?
What night?
I think it's Dresden Dolls on Friday, Lavay Smith on Saturday. I'll double check.
Friday would be a no - Nilly can't drive or be driven. I suspect Saturday evening will be a nice long slow relaxation deal out on the terrace, with conversation; I'm going to Abbey Rents and getting a couple of those backyard torch heaters, and also some wood for the chimnea.
However, just in case folks find themselves lively and eager to work off some of their post-barbecue bulk in a properly San Franciscan swankalicious fashion (or even just swankily slounge by a bar), I must note that Lavay Smith is a ton of fun, and also that I have several vintage gowns that are much too small for me but might be perfect for Nilly.
Heh. Yep, JZ, that's what I was aiming for: anyone who gets bored or chilly or gets a post-food second wind, there's cool stuff to do Saturday night in town, and the Fillmore - is it at the Fillmore? - is part of the cool stuff.
The Fillmore is Aimee Mann; Lavay Smith is at Cafe Du Nord: intimate crowded speakeasy vibe rather than Big Music Palace.
Oh, the du Nord is majorly cool. Yes, indeed.
I'm staying home (obviously, what with clean-up and prep-tired and stuff) but will be ahppy to provide transport.
