Whichever day you pick, I'll have my own little party at home for you. So anyone who'll be in Buffalo next weekend is by all means invited to me home. And since I know thats none of you, whatever. More food and drink for me.

 ARGH, I'm so excited for you Brandon and I'm glad you're throwing a party.

But did you have to do it the weekend my sister-in-law is getting married in Georgia???

Will you buy me a copy of Elantris instead?

Just wanted to say congrats to a very "old friend."  I always knew you would make it someday EVOL.  Anyway, since we now have a "famous published writer" any input you could offer to the rest of the aspiring authors would be nice.  How did you manage to pull off "the big deal"?
Boogie woogie woogie!!

 Thanks, Izzy, for telling me about this post!

Congrats, again, EUOL!  And thanks for the invite. :) Saturday's a much better day for Chris and I.  We've got class until 8 pm on Friday.

It's looking like Saturday, then.

SE--we'd love to see you.  I'm not very mobile in D.C., but if you could find your way to our hotel, we could certainly do lunch or something.  

I'll send you an email with my phone number.  I've got the cell with me now.

I figured we would have to do it on Saturday for lunch, since I won't see Ben until later today, and we'll both want to meet Jeffe, so you'll have to have time to talk to him.

Okay, so this Saturday, the 8th, at what time?

And is this Buca di Beppo the restaurant you were talking about EUOL? If it is, the site will give the address of the SLC restaurant as well as directions. The Mangia link--for those of us (probably only me--but I did guess right on the first try) without enough latin language experience to guess--will allow you to look at the menu and price ranges.

My car will fit 3 other people if anyone would like to carpool.

Well, if spriggan drives, he could fit a couple of people in his van. He will probably take me and prometheus, unless one of us have to go someplace else before or afterwards. Possibly, tage and EOUL as well. Course with that many single guys, we would have to leave room to pick up chicks.

lol.

The thing is, I'll probably go to my Salt Lake writing group afterward, so I should drive myself.  I might take Tage with me, assuming he can get a ride back.

We're planning this thing for 7:00.  We'll go to the Midvale location, which is off of the 7200 south exit in Salt Lake.
