Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

ita's thread

A place where we can talk about ita, miss ita, and share information about memorials. The hugging started over here in Natter.

I'll block those dates off, too.

Thank you, Pix, for doing all of this. I really want to be there if I can.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I have a potential concert that weekend. Now I have to think.

Our wings are not tired.

The date sounds good here.

The dates should work for me, whether I'm in my current position or another.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Will mark the dates, and hope I can attend.

The status is NOT quo.

$239 for Best western? Whoa.

Yep. It isn't as bad as some city areas, but the Westside is pricey. And with LA traffic and size being what it is, I hesitate to propose places further away.

People might also check airbnb for local spots. There are some great places in the Santa Monica area.

Also check vrbo. com -- a quick check for Santa Monica for that weekend shows 10 places under $200, which sleep anywhere from 2 to 6 people (in case some people wanted to go in on a place together).

That would be really cool, to get a bunch of us all in one place. We can sit on the couches and post to the board at each other in our jammies.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Yeah, if we could get a reasonably-sized house-type-thing, that would be really nice (and much less of an imposition on the locals). I don't know yet if I'll be able to come, but if I can, I'd be interested in going in on such a place.
