I'm still kicking the universe that I'll end up being up in SF this year again for Halloween and that all the festivities are going to be up in Seattle.
'Heart Of Gold'
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!
Damn, I forgot - kids plus Halloween equals a not-miss occasion. We always took Jo trick or treating (the year we got her up as Boadicea, complete with snake bracelets and culturally anachronistic blue face paint, and coached her to ring doorbells and yell a greeting of "Mortuis Imperator! Death to Rome! Candy!" was fun).
Days Inn sounds good to me, Lee. (Just remember, if we're sharing a room, that I'll be there Saturday through Monday, not Friday-Sunday.)
I'll email you too, Plei, but I have no food allergies, and I'll eat pretty much anything.
I'm in the same corner as Sail and Cindy (I need a nickname that begins with a sibilant). Of all the things I hate to miss the first is the book launch, the second is aftenoon tea at Casa Marcontell. I even priced flights, just to torture myself.
But, she said bravely, scuttling onto the bench beside Sail and Cindy and lifting her chin, you guys have twice the fun partying for the folks who can't come.
Ooh, Deb. CSI:NY had a clue this week of walnut dust--the suspect had been one of a team cleaning statues in the park. Apparently they blow walnut dust at high velocity to "sand" the statues clean. It's amazing where you find nut dust when you become aware of it as an alergen.
Bev, weirdly, I'd heard that before - I knew it was occasionally used as a cleaner.
Plei, no allergies, but a dislike of coconut here.
Lee, sweetie, insent.
I'ma off to run 26.2. Whee!!!
After consulting with Juliana, I am going to try to call first the Sixth Avenue Inn, and then the Days Inn if Sixth Avenue can't fit us all in.
Lyra Jane, Do you want me to reserve a room for you at the same time I reserve 2 for the rest of us, just to make sure we can all get into the same hotel? If so, what are your preferences, and you need check in on Saturday and check out on Monday, right?
eta: I also have a new hotel option. What do people think?
Go get 'em, juliana!
I'm thinking it might be an idea to have a mutual exchange of hotel info and cellphone list and whatnot, once everything is booked and closer to the time. Feelings about that? (Not in a squishy way...)

That's an incredibly nice offer, Lee. Email insending.
Plei, Lyra Jane, Jessica and Juliana, insent.
