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.
Sometimes when I'm sitting in class... You know, I'm not thinking about class, 'cause that would never happen. I think about kissing you. And it's like everything stops. It's like, it's like freeze frame. Willow kissage.

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!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
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.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
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.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I got Nilly the Concord Grape Maneishevitz for Seder and that was fine. The Blackberry Maneishevitz was not. She only uses a wee bit, so unless you love sweet wine, get the little bottle.
For the rest, as Hec says, just take Nilly to the grocery store, and she'll pick up what she feels like having.
We had some filthy conversation at dinner when Nilly first got here, and she giggled a whole lot, with no nose wrinkling. We're definately all going to Hell, though. Unless Nilly prayed for us.

SPP doesn't usually make porny comments, the super power is pointing out the saucy remarks of others.
Young Nilly may prove to be a challenge -- but I am practicing my eyebrow-raise nonetheless.

I'll be sure to slather you with sauce then.
