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.
Retiring medals until, like King Arthur, they are needed desperately by Britain b.org....I'm for it.
billytea, Option 3 looks good but my plans can be flexi for your San Diego sojourn, and I doubt the zoo critters mind when you visit so long as you do. I can even likely offer transit from SD to LA or vice versa...

That would be great. But note that I'll be travelling down on a Monday, and back up on a Friday. I don't want to eat into your annual leave.

I also would support this.
I want to go to Seattle on Halloween. Let me see what the rates would be like.
Lyra Jane, that would be really cool.
Juliana, insent to your hotmail account.
Okay, so maybe I don't have my plane or hotel reservations yet, but let's focus on the important stuff: Are we doing anything for which we need costumes, and if so, what should I wear?
Lee, I'm pretty sure there will be costumey stuff on Saturday night, after the B&N signing. Jilli made some mention of that.
Nic and I are doing matching (sort of) corsetry. I'm all about Halloween leather.
Juliana, insent to your hotmail account.
Bebe, can you resend to Gmail? e DOT juliana AT gmail DOT com? I can't reach Hotmail from here, and I won't be home until late tonight.
What to wear, what to wear....

Note that I am only doing freelance work and you will see that there are no worries... See how nicely it works out?
Also means that zoos and Balboa Parks and such are less crowded. Bonus.
