I want to at least peek into Lush, since I've never been. But it may be too much for me, too, in which case I'll be across the street in Starbucks---with Deb!EeeeeeE!
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!
There are buses that go along M street, but I don't know how one gets to them if one is not coming from Friendship Heights.
The Georgetown Metro Shuttle (aka the Blue Bus) goes from M Street (in front of Barnes and Noble) to the Dupont Circle and Foggy Bottom metro stops. Costs $1, supposedly runs every 10 minutes but actually more like 15 or 20.
And I'll watch you all do Lush from the Starbucks across the street. When I walked into the SF Lush with Betsy, my entire autoimmune system went redline.
Oddly, Lush in the only scented-stuff store where mine doesn't. (And just a warning, 'cause I'm not sure how sensitive you are to it -- you can smell it from nearly a block away. It's not really strong at all until you're right in front of it, but it is noticable.)
I've only been to DC the one other time with the other internet people. We went to the Zoo and saw the pandas and other animals.
All the plans sound fun, I'm not sure what I'll want to do.

To a large degree I'm gonna play it by ear. So much of my life has to be seriously scheduled that when it's time for vacation I really despise getting locked into a schedule in any way.
Lush uses ground almonds in many of their products, so people with severe nut allergies should probably stay away.
Where are the cool thrift stores?
Sadly, Jon, DC is rather regrettably lacking in a concentration of cool thrift stores. There's a big Value Village out in College Park that I find some decent stuff at, but it's not "cool". There's a couple in Takoma Park that aren't bad.
unlikely event that a hotel employee notices we suddenly have four people in our room instead of two I will easily and simply explain it by having sex with meara.
t starts looking for hotel tip line
t remembers RLiz's age, and that Reema would have to kill me
t starts macking on Kate when the hotel people come
Woo!
t ships Kate/meara
