   *Weeps because SF is on the other coast. Oh yes, they have planes. I think a picnic would be fun and a party or maybe even a dress-up fun cocktail hour type deal.
2. Melinda, on August 24th, 2007 at 10:52 am Said:

   I would totally fly up to have a picnic with you, Mo. I think yoga and a cocktail aprty would be awesome also.

   (Also, I will be up there in October so I hope I get to see you then for sure!)

   I can has pot?
   Picnic?
   Scrapping?
   I’m in.
   I’ll be reppin’ for Calgary, Canada.
   BFD con = genius

   Eeeee!

   I would be very interested in attending, but whether I could get there is the other question, since I live halfway around the world and am of recent years hopeless at actually going anywhere. And flying is not carbon neutral. Although I’ve always wanted to come to San Francisco, so maybe I need an excuse.

   Hypothetically… Yoga, yeah. Picnic sounds good, also cocktails if G&T is a cocktail. I don’t really know what scrapbooking is (is it like making a photo album? Because I consider that a chore.)

   I would be very interested in coming, but don’t know if I actually could without enough notice to really save up for it. However, isn’t Igigi also based in San Francisco? I would like to see it in person one day.

   Yes, please.

   Barbary Lane tour – Fancy dress cocktails at Harry Denton’s Starlight Room – Walk in Golden Gate Park and along the Bay – Alcatraz tour – pictures in front of the haggis store from So I Married an Axe Murderer (Heed, Down!) – Belden Place – Grace Cathedral.
   And Wedding Pictures! With wine and brownies (pot or not) for the so inclined?
   Is this con-worthy or just my dream trip to SF?
8. lisa-marie, on August 24th, 2007 at 3:01 pm Said:

   I would be very interested – SF is only a few hours up the road after all. Yoga sounds fun (I’ve never tried it, but would like to), and cocktails are always great!
9. Jessica, on August 24th, 2007 at 4:11 pm Said:

   I’m often in SFO on business, and if I happen to be there, I’ll totally join in. Otherwise, I probably cannot afford to come all the way from Minneapolis!

   I vote for yoga and drinking. ;-)

    Alright, Ladies and Gentlemen.. Here’s my master plan (also known as my gleeful thoughts 5 minutes after reading this post):

    In one corner we’ve got the Cocktail Lounge, complete with Cosmos, Bloody Marys, and Adiosmuthafuckas. Beer drinkers, I expect you to bring a 12 pack of your favorite brew (but none of the macro shiite, ok?)
    In the opposite corner is the Circle Of Friends, complete with rotating joints, acoustic guitars, and homemade jewelry (opposite, because you should never mix the two aforementioned vices, ladies. Remember that!)
    The east wing shall feature one or more yoga gurus, with a little Tai Chi to spice things up. Hula hoops optional.
    Last, but certainly not least, The west is reserved for my most favorite vice of all: FOOD. I’m bringing the southern fried chicken (hypothetically speaking, of course.)

    Geez, I haven’t been this excited about a con since… actually, ever!
11. Shawn, on August 24th, 2007 at 5:39 pm Said:

    I would definitely attend a BFD-Con. Count me in!
12. Kendra, on August 24th, 2007 at 6:39 pm Said:

    I would totally completely go to BFD Con (helps that I live in SF!). I’m all for panels, drinks, and karaoke. Yoga, not so much.
13. Kendra, on August 24th, 2007 at 6:43 pm Said:

    Oh, just had a thought – shopping tour of all the stores that carry plus sizes?
14. Laura, on August 24th, 2007 at 7:28 pm Said:

    I would totally attend this in San Francisco (I live here). Thumbs up on the Igigi field trip (I’ve been there and it’s great!) and maybe we could hit a few other fatshionista stops? I’m all for drinks and karaoke, too.
15. Weetabix, on August 24th, 2007 at 8:03 pm Said:

    Yes, Igigi is based in SF and they have a lovely little boutique in the Mission and the designer might even pop out and start recommending certain pieces for you, as that happened to Anne and me when we were there last fall. I’m in if it happens in 2008. As of right now, my travel budget and vacation is totally cashed for this year.

    But how about April 2008? And I vote for a tea party at the Japanese Garden in GG park!
16. Bronwen, on August 24th, 2007 at 9:18 pm Said:

    How ’bout a Brownie tasting, similar to a wine tasting? We could all bring our favorite recipe and vote.

    A tour of the Ghirardelli facilities?
17. littlem, on August 24th, 2007 at 10:31 pm Said:

    Yoga, yoga, yo-ga!
    Wine, wine, wine!
    BFD-Con
    Sounds real fine!

    Yay, Mo! Go, Mo!

    Yaaaaaaaaay, MO!!!!

    Signed,
    the cheerleader I never was

    P.S. April 2008. I will need a break during election season. xo littlem
18. littlem, on August 24th, 2007 at 10:32 pm Said:

    Oh, and perhaps a tasting tour of the distillery that produces Hangar One? :D
19. littlem, on August 24th, 2007 at 10:34 pm Said:

    Hey, C –

    We’ll have them come to Our Coast for the next one. Are you north or south?
20. Sony, on August 25th, 2007 at 9:23 am Said:

    Actually, sad to say, the Igigi boutique is closed now, and it’s really tough to find their clothes in the area. When I called to ask about it the woman hinted that there may be stores coming, but for right now there aren’t any good local options.

    I’m up for whatever.
21. Kate Harding, on August 25th, 2007 at 10:57 am Said:

    I can’t guarantee that I could make it, but I’m totally in in spirit!

    Heartbroken to learn the Igigi boutique no longer exists, though. :(
22. sarah, on August 25th, 2007 at 9:02 pm Said:

    yes yes yes! sf sf sf! karaoke karaoke karaoke!

    love sarah
23. Paisley, on August 26th, 2007 at 10:25 am Said:

    Count me in, especially if it’s next April 2008, per Weetabix’s thought. As if it wouldn’t be nifty enough to join in with the BFD con community, I always love to go to SF!
    Cheers!
24. Suzanne, on August 26th, 2007 at 3:49 pm Said:

    Yes! I would be interested. I live in SF and was just thinking the other day how it would be great to have some event to meet people here.
25. lisa-marie, on August 26th, 2007 at 10:40 pm Said:

    April 2008 works perfectly for me! Can we start squeeing now?
26. v'ron, on August 27th, 2007 at 7:15 am Said:

    I’d love to, not sure if I can.

    But this would be a great excuse for a trip to SF.
27. Victoria, on August 27th, 2007 at 9:48 am Said:

    Squee!

    I’m absolutley in! I’m in SF, so anytime is fine for me. We could do a clothing swap!!!
28. Angie, on August 27th, 2007 at 2:55 pm Said:

    Count me in , too! Although I’m a long time lurker, I’d love to get together with everyone. I’m in Hawaii, so getting to SF is pretty easy-and I LOVE the idea of a clothing swap!
29. K, on August 27th, 2007 at 7:38 pm Said:

    I don’t know which corner to head to! I’ll totally join in with the handmade jewellery, but I want the tai ch’i and brownies too…

    They say it’s the same at every con. All the activities you want to do clash with each other. Such is life!
30. anabell, on August 28th, 2007 at 12:59 pm Said:

    ooooh! that would be awesome. Too bad I won’t have time off from work until next year, and that getting a visa to the US takes forever. But I would got to the second edition.
