If we're planning Seattle Halloween stuff, and Jilli and I were just discussing putting a notice in Press to Talk About It this Wednesday last, as one of the Seattle Halloween PLANNERS, I'd strongly prefer that we talk about it here, as, much as I try to use it from time to time, I hate the People's Forum interface with the burning fire of a thousand suns, and you're not going to see me there unless it's an actual emergency.
Also, honestly? Halloween is less than two months away. Any planning that goes on for a coordinated small F2F will be long over, and is not going to seriously fuck with the big F2F shit.
Plei, This has nothing to do with that, but I need your snailmail address. Can you send it to me?
I had to go to a birthday party for a friend this evening. It was very nice. The people were all pleasant, the venue was really pretty, in a beautiful wooded setting, the honoree's family had gone to a lot of trouble to decorate the hall and to display a lot of her work. The food was better than I had expected. But in the middle of if all, trying to find something in common to talk about, all I could think was, "This is not my tribe. I miss my Buffistas."

F2F. We'll last. I hope. In the meantime, I just want to say, I fucking love you. Mwaaaah!
Sail! I was thinking about you just last night. I miss your voice, your Wiscahnsin accent! Heck, I just miss you.
I'm not gonna last. Want peeeeps.
Sail, do you ever get up to Milwaukee? I'm there a lot recently, and if we ever coincide, I'd love to try to get together.
[Or if you're ever in Chicago, the offer of a nice glass of Ponche still stands.]
whimpers.
You have Ponche?
dies.
I don't get into Milwaukee nearly as often as I like. When I do go, it usually involves family. I would, however, love an excuse to go that is
not
family. If you've got a free weekend, I'd love to meet you there. Heck, I'd even love an excuse to come down to Chicago. I only make it once a year or so anymore, now that my mother is gone. I need someone who likes to
shop.
Of course, I have to tame the credit cards a little before I hit the Miracle Mile anytime soon.
I keep swinging between Sail's accent and Katie Bee's, even now. The kids think I'm possessed.
Accent? What accent? I sound like I'm from California, right? Right? Duuuuuuude!
What is Ponche besides, you know, the hottie from ChiPs?
