I saw Nilly wrinkle her nose in distaste. So now I know exactly the face she's making when she reads porny comments on the board.

Shouldn't we have a picture of this? Who could make porny comments at Nilly's next stop on Nilly Tour 2004 when a camera was ready to take a shot?

How is Nilly's porny-comment wrinkle different from her dead-things wrinkle?

Ages later (ok, two days, but it seems much longer because of the number of posts)... waves back to Hec.

I just have to add how wonderful it is to see all of the wonderfully detailed and evocative posts of Nillyfest, punctuated by wonderful pictures of beautiful, relaxed folks clearly having a great time. Between the descriptions and pics, the feelings of inclusiveness (for even those not there) and good vibes are literally starving my jealousy demons almost out of existence. I'm literally getting warm fuzzies as I read this thread. Pretty soon, I should have no jealousy left at all, and will have turned into a saint.

Dunno. Shouldn't there be, like a test or something to find out? Something horribly convulted.

Yesterday, when I walked people through the park, we saw some turtles and somebody (not me) made a joke about turtle sex, and I saw Nilly wrinkle her nose in distaste. So now I know exactly the face she's making when she reads porny comments on the board.

Oh man. NYC's going to be such fun, with Super Porny Pants' porny pants and my penchant for turning anything and everything into sexual innuendo, if you know what I mean.

Okay, I'm starting some checking on hotel and rates and such in Kansas City and it's looking very affordable. There are listed rates at nice hotels as low as $75/night so we should hopefully get some very good group rates. A quick list of hotels in the Plaza (Which is where we would probably want to stay) is here. Can anyone do the ground work with these hotels with me? I'm doing what I can over the net, but I'm not going to have a ton of time to get on the phone and fax machine this week.

More fabulous pictures, JZ! Looks like so. much. fun. And libkitty nails it ... the lovely descriptions, reports, pictures, and sharing of the good that is NillyTour 2004 warm the heart.

Deb/Hec/SFistas/LAistas, is there any specific Kosher symbol that Nilly needs to see on wine?

You know, I'm going to repeat Allyson's advice: take Nilly shopping with you. We bought some kosher macaroons but they were the Wrong Kind (which we ate with some delight). I think Deb has the sheet of proper kosher symbols, but it's a tricky business for us goyim.

Nilly's wrinkle of distaste is similar from dead critters to sexual innuendo. Though, it must be said, very different from a USC sorority girl's "Ewwwww." Nilly is less emphatic and more subtle. Her snarky comment in Paxton's Gate when I pointed out a miniature greenhouse: "Oh, there's something alive in here."

Note to File: Not!Goth Starts With Nilly.

When I showed her the Hamlet!Mouse in my apartment she made the Wrinkle of Distaste, hunched her shoulders around her ears and scurried to the far side of the room. Laughing.

I think that a porny-comment-free day from me is near to impossible. (Even if I try. Which I will- I shall strive to be on my bestest behavior on Tuesday!) Thus, I shall most likely get to see the face.
