Ooh, that sounds great, Plei.
In general, with Annabel around I'm not up for really late nights or wild par-tays, but I'd love getting together with people for meals and hanging out and such. And I can meet people at the airport as long as they're arriving solo--it's hard to fit anyone else in the backseat with Annabel's car seat.
a Sunday brunch at my place?
Another reason to add to the "reasons to go to Seattle" list that I'll be presenting to the DH tonight.
Plei, can we come eat scones too, even though we're not at the marriott? We have a caaaaaaaaaaaaar.....

I don't think it matters where the person's staying. *g*
Cool, because Nic is a world-class devourer of clotted cream teas. He doesn't drink the tea, mind you - but the clotted cream and the scones?
Oh, yes. Yes indeed.
I will play around tonight, and see if I can get something better.
Sparky, if you want me to reserve a room for you/DH at the same time, possible to be cancelled, let me know.
Lee, I think if we come together we will stay with Jeff's friend to hold down costs. If it is just me, I will show up at your hotel looking pitiful and beg for a place on the floor, maybe. If you're crazy enough to let me know where you're staying. Hee!
I am SO doing the happy dance that the F2F will be in New Orleans! Yay!
I am also agreeing with the consensus on retiring and reserving the CP awards (though I wasn't aware of any contention regarding them).
I am sad that I can't go to Seattle during Halloween, so I suppose I shall just have to make up for it by throwing a giant birthday party instead.
And now I am hungry.
Yeah, there's never been a formal award process -- as far as I could ever tell, a bunch of people just got together and did it.
The process got unwieldy this year. The first year the consensus was obvious and easy to figure out. This year - less so, and it got uncomfortable for me. I think JZ and I will try to get out the ones which are still owed, but I'm fine with putting them aside until there is once again an obvious, crying, indusputable need for them.
