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.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

I'm going to try as well, but I'm supposed to be in New Orleans the following week for a conference. No guarantees.

Our wings are not tired.

Looking at options. Where should I look at rooms? It is cheaper for me to fly home to Fort Lauderdale then to New Orleans than to go directly from here. Ha.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I cannot help with the lodging question, but...and also hoo!

Fingers crossed, Maria!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I stayed at the Prytania Park hotel last time, which was convenient and plenty nice. (I stayed at whichever was the cheapest of the three linked properties -- others stayed in nicer ones, which were nicer, but I had no problem with my room.) [link]

I'm also open to a multi-bedroom AirBnB if that makes sense, Jess!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

The Prytania Park looks great, actually!

I stayed at the Prytania Park too, and it was fine!

Yay, actual B&B rather than AirBnB!

The status is NOT quo.

I keep trying to figure out how I could make it work. I KNOW I can't. But I really wish I could!

Aw, my old neighborhood. I will have to do some nostalgic walking around in the vicinity.
