Super-fast fly-by

I'm in L.A.! I've just had a wonderful evening with cim_halfling and risiepookie; we're all exhausted so Risie is generously taking me back to my hotel. The problem is that it doesn't have internet while they're renovating (???) so I'm quickly borrowing Cim's daughter's laptop, ergo this very fast post and comments disabled.

Tomorrow when I'm back in a normal email situation (mine at the hotel last night also had major issues, so now I'm two days behind!!) I'll talk more about my splendid hours with maple_mahogany and shygryf, and my very long, hot, windy drive today. There will be more details and some pics tomorrow. Thank you for your patience. ;)
