When Nilly pulled the hat out of the gift bag, she was standing up - she doubled over giggling, collapsed against the wall, slid down the wall, and ended up curled up on the floor - still giggling. Priceless!
It's a real burden being right so often.

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!

Art Crawl!!!
I was very briefly able to look at some of Nilly's pictures. I saw the ones from DC and just a couple from LA and NYC.
I hope I can see the rest soon.
I particularly loved Nilly in Einstein's lap.
I notice that she didn't try to get in Lincoln's lap -- but he does look less cuddly.

Jen, those pictures are great! I especially love the one of Nilly in Jayne's hat--the look on her face is priceless.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Nilly does nothing part-way. If she is giddy, whe is REALLY giddy. If she is laughing, she is REALLY laughing. I love that about her.

If I only had a brain...
Lincoln is very, very big; I think the guards would stop you if you attempted to drive pitons into him.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
The Lincoln stature is completely ginormous. Somehow, though, not imposing - just a bit sad.
Ahem. I am briefly hijacking the thread for a Halloween in Seattle update, already posted in Press, because it has suddenly become urgent:
SEATTLEISTAS
Will go to F2F with this and email with this as well, but my signing/reading event at Barnes and Noble, University Village, is official for Halloween weekend. Laura Stretchenback is asking which night I'd prefer. I'm thinking the Saturday night (30 October). In any event, I want to schedule it so that the maximum number of people show up (obviously!) and also to maybe rock the B&N with a nice gothy little party, which Laura would probably love.
I need to confirm this with both the store and my publicist, so if people could e me with what date they'd prefer, I can get this set up ASAP.
Thanks!

I've pinged Jilli, though I doubt she'll be up until later.
Insending.

WOOT! Thank you, love. I'm all excited. Back to Seattle, and UV, and all!
I may even want to buy everyone a nice dinner beforehand (St. Martin's still owes me the last chunk of the advance on the book).

Right. Deb. Seattle. Halloween. UV book reading thingamie.
(Drinks more coffee)
Oct. 30 is the night that most of the Halloween parties are happening, but I don't think that will have any impact on who I would round up to be at B&N.

Drat. Fun will be happening in Seattle and I'll be in San Francisco that weekend.
