You'll get to see the Great White Shark. Well, provided she's still, you know, alive.

I'm a big fan of great whites. They also have been known to have an ocean sunfish, which would rock. But they can't let it get too big or they can't lift it out to return it to the ocean.

Attention Seattle Halloween people: I just sent out the invite to the Addams Family cocktail party. Please let me know if you didn't get it.

(Also, the bit on the invite where it says to bring snacky food or drinky-drinks to share? Don't panic if you can't manage that. That's primarily for the other Seattle-area guests.)

Speaking of Seattle, should be put together a phone list, cellphones and the like?

edit: and we're thinking about meeting our friends Dani and Hove - the Seattleistes met them last year, at the Weaver signing - at Piatti for dinner. It's right next door to B&N, so we'd walk next door after dinner and do the do. Anyone?

Mmm, Piatti. Sounds good to me.

Anyone interested in Indian food for Friday lunch?

Good idea. Also, Deb, I'll be e-ing you later today, once I get a chance.

Do we have a list of arrival/departure times? All the out-of-towners are staying at the Comfort Inn, right?

I'm really going to try to bake lavender shortbread.

(this collection of unstrung sentences brought to you by the plague. or chest & head cold, take your pick. I'd best be better by Friday. IJS)

I'm always interested in Indian food, but I'm not getting in until Saturday.

Are there any plans for Sunday?

Jess, Sunday's the brunch at my place.

Oh yes! Brain like a sieve over here.

Plei, do you still have my flight arrival info?

Does anyone want to plan a movie or dinner for late Sunday? My flight out isn't until Monday morning. Or, the plan could be going to the brunch and seeing what we feel like after.

Also, who should I send my travel plans to? Everyone, or is someone coordinating? I think Lee already has them.
