    Not to be completely shallow, but what about the drinking? Surely there was drinking? Help a sister out – I’m being bachhanalian-by-proxy these days! And ALA weekends always leave me feeling lonely and unloved…

    Is Seattle next year? Depends on visa status and moolah, but that might work. My mom wants to come and babysit, SCORE!

    Do you know where it is in ’08?

    And I did see the chat msg, but I wasn’t actually on line at the time.
