Buffistas

Zoe: What's that, sir? Mal: Freedom, is what. Zoe: No, I meant what's that? Mal: Oh. Yeah. Just step around it. I think something must've been living in here.

'Out Of Gas'

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!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I'm not too interested in the zoo. Zoos tend to freak me out a little. (It's one of those things where, although I know and mentally understand all the conservation arguments and everything, I still have a bit of an, "Animals in cages! Free them!" reaction emotionally.)

Smithsonian museums, on the other hand, are amazingly cool. And I haven't been to any of them in the whole nine months I've lived in DC. Must rememdy this.

I haven't seen it in three-plus decades and I'm betting it's changed a bit.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

There are more Starbucks.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Lyra Jane, I sent an email back. Thanks!

I want to go to the Air and Space too, and to see the diamonds, and the first ladies' gowns, if that is still around.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

There's the Insect Zoo -- excuse me, the Orkin Insect Zoo which is in the Natural History museum. Nearly all of them safely behind glass except for a few slow-moving stick insects and so on that the staff will carefully exhibit, which is good for a person like me who is fascinated by them but never under any circumstances wants a body part to risk coming into contact with one.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

As I've said before, I'm in for a Zoo trip. I haven't been there in a couple of years(Yeah, I'm a native. I'm also overscheduled.)

FYI, that's three different museums (A&S, Natural History, and American History)

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Yeah. It's all kinds of spread out.

Okay, the Insect Zoo sounds cool!

I just called to reserve our rooms, and the Buffistas group-rate price block has apparently sold out. The rate the woman gave me was $170 a night (including tax).

(That's $42 for each of us on Saturday, Kate and meara; btw, we've got two queen-sized beds between the four of us and it's nonsmoking.)

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

There are more Starbucks.

As opposed to the trendy boutiques and arty coffee houses that I remember from 1968 or thereabotus?

Doesn't sound all that different.

And knowing there's an Insect Zoo doesn't really nudge me toward wanting to visit, for some odd reason. Maybe the memory of the bird-eating spiders at the London Zoo?
