I can vouch that he's a good houseguest -- he didn't set anything on fire or gouge holes in the walls, and as near as I can tell, he doesn't steal (though I probably should go count my collection of Commemorative Spoons of the World [Iron Curtain Countries Excepted])....

Oh! And he travels with good music.

Plus the whole thing where he's a great guy. That helps.

Is there anyone in the above cities who would be able to put me up for the dates given?

You can stay with us billytea, if you like. We do have a taxidermied mouse in the living room where you'd be staying.

I regret that I had no taxidermied wildlife for BT's visit.

bt, alternately, if you would like to stay in the East Bay, we have a guest room and are in walking distance of the beach.

t takes out list of "things to buy for billytea's party"

t makes a note

Is anybody in the Bay Area doing a Whedonparty?

Betsy, I could host one. Hmmmmm....

edit: No, I couldn't. A speaker phone is an obvious requirement, and I don't possess one.
