Jess M., insent. Let me know if you don't get it.
I just said that you're pretty. Even when you're covered in...engine grease, you're... No, especially, especially when you're covered in engine grease.

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!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Hey folks - I'm here, but not saying much because well, I have no input on Nilly-age. However, I'm with Noise on the fact that we should be talking about F2F 2005.

Let me just say that popularity with people on public transportation does not equal literary respect. --Jesse
got it Jen, thanks

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
what the hell is a hetch hetchy?
A drowned canyon, currently serving as a reservoir.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Speaking of F2F 2005, I've got a bunch of proposals from hotels, most of which I need to follow-up on. Should I just discard any that are, say, over $150 a night (or some lower number) or do we want all possible information?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I think it would depend on the amount of services we get from them along with the location. Do you want me to make up a table or something organizing it all?

Unless a mystery Buffista is willing to pick up the tab for the entire get-together, I'd say that prices in excess of $150 a night are probably going to disqualify the hotels in question.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Reason 536 to have F2F 05 in NO - you can drink the water right out of the tap.
...unless there's been a recent kerosene spill upriver. (There were a couple during my years in NOLA.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'd always figured that first world water tasted better than third world water. But when your first world is Lacolle, PQ, and your third is Jamaica, NSM. And then there is, as mentioned upthread, LA. God, I'd be dehydrated without Brita. I wish that more restaurants would bother filter, though.

I cannot remember for the life of me what the tap water tastes like having spent too much time drinking other things.
Amen. I don't think tap water taste has ever been a consideration for anyone I've been to New Orleans with.
Now, whether it flows down the drain quickly enough to avoid drowning if one passes out in the shower is an entirely different matter.
