Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

F2F5: I forget that everyone isn't us

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

Anyone else?

I should be around, too.

I think the 11th would work best for me, actually.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I'll have to play it by ear, but I might be able to join you.

Oh, right.

I've been wanting to try out El Jefe if Mexican appeals. [link] But there's lots of options in the area, including shrift's earlier suggestions.

I loved the sign for El Jefe.

How did I not know about El Jefe? It's on the same city block as my office building! I walk past it all the time!

not your mom's socks.

Is anyone going to BEA/BookCon in NYC in late May?

Also I'm in Chicago for the Nebula thing, first weekend in June. Will be under a pile of SFWA cookbooks, mostly, but would love to see you.

There are some rumblings about me being in CA and other west-coast-like places come fall. Will keep you posted. See also (meep) MA, ME, NH, ...
