Well, in the name of "some rough idea" we could do an orbitz combo search from a handful of scattered cities to our leading destinations.
As far as the nearby thing, well yeah that'll varry -- that's why we move it around.
'First Date'
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: San Francisco, May 19-21, 2006! Everything else, go here! Swag!

flights are so wierd. I can get to SF for under $300, but NO is almost as expensive for half the distance!
Who flies into Seattle? Any of the big discounters? And is there just the one major airport? I think this was a big part of the problem for people trying to swing N.O. I'd love Seattle if it's workable, though.
ETA: Ok, quick look at Orbitz shows Southwest, AmericaWest, Fronteir, etc., so that's at least one step ahead of N.O. as far as the possibility of cheap flights.
I just checked Midway to Seattle on Southwest ranges from $100 to $250 for a ticket 30 days out. Not too bad.

Whereas NOLA was less expensive for me than the trips I've taken to Oakland or Burbank.
We need BuffistaJet.
"Soda, coffee, porn?"
With seats to fit everyone's fine asses, and more legroom for the taller amongst us (tommyrot, Gus, Kalshane...).
I'm definitely interested, especially if it'll be in either SF or Seattle! I can tack on a week visiting a college friend in the SF area, or my sister in Seattle, so I'm flexible there!
Maybe the LAistas can rent a big ole RV and drive to wherever.
I'm definitely not averse to something central and either equally easy or equally hard for the largest number of people -- Kansas City last year sounded so good it's going to take a vast amont of convincing to get me to pick anything else the next time it's nominated.
Yowtch! If the fares I just got for San Francisco and Seattle with July dates are standard, I'll either be driving through the Rockies or not attending at all. Those are like 3x the prices I've ever paid to LA.
