Robin, I think he will be in LA the weekend after thanksgiving. If he will be still around on Sunday, I am planning a brunch at my place. I haven't told him that yet, of course, or asked if it is okay but still, planning.
'War Stories'
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!
He's here in SF for Thanksgiving, along with Lee.
Back from Seattle, tired as it's possible to be, but blissed in many ways. A very good time spent with a lot of people I love.
And Jessica has complete video footage!
What is the final BT West Coast schedule? IOW, when do I get to hang with him?
Ok. Flights have been booked; I reckon this is definite:
Nov 22: Fly into Seattle. I am assured that I won't be sleeping on a park bench, but things are still being sorted out.
Nov 24: Fly to San Fran. Staying with Hec and JZ, Thanksgiving dinner at Deb's.
Nov 26-27: Drive to L.A. with Lee. Visit Monterey Bay on Nov 26.
Nov 27-9: Staying with Lee in L.A.
Nov 29: Drive down to San Diego. Stop off at the Wild Animal Park on the way.
Nov 29-Dec 2: Stay in San Diego with Cass. There will be a visit to the San Diego Zoo, and probably to SeaWorld too.
Dec 2: Return to L.A. for D&D at GenCon SoCal.
Dec 3: The End. Flight over the big pond back home.
People, generally, are invited to stuff.

Billytea and Javacat, insent.
Home, tired, and sad.
Me three.
I was in airports or on planes for 13 hours yesterday. Note to self: Never book flights routed through Chicago.
Nice thing about a quickie flight like this one: we actually made it home in an hour forty, so we went to El Faro for bigass burritos on the way home.
But UGH, on the long flying airporty stuff.
I had a nice smooth direct flight, but the time difference still made it a 9 hour trip. Ugh. (Seatac has wireless access points out the wazoo, but NO INTERNET CAFES. So people sans laptops were out of luck. Fortunately, I had both Weaver and Famous Flower to keep me occupied.)
On the plus side, I got another row to myself on the flight home, which let me stretch out and go to sleep. Verrrrry comfortable.
We had a two-hour layover in Chicago, which wasn't bad at all. However, I always get a little sad in Chicago, like I should be living there instead of here. Not the homesickness I get in Seattle, but a sadness.
I'll find my city one day.

I think I was in Chicago for about two hours in the end. My flight leaving Seattle was delayed from 11 a.m. until something like 12:30. We landed in Chicago a little before 6; my 5:30 flight out of there had been cancelled, and they were going to put us on an 8:35 flight. The flight had already been delayed twice more and was supposed to take off at 10 when I noticed there was a flight into Dulles leaving at 8, and managed to talk my way onto that. So I got to D.C. at 11. I have no idea when I would have gotten in if I'd stuck with my original flight.
It almost took the bloom off all my wonderful memories from the weekend.
