F2F 3: Who's Bringing the Guacamole?  

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!

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I just checked Midway to Seattle on Southwest ranges from $100 to $250 for a ticket 30 days out. Not too bad.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

flights are so wierd. I can get to SF for under $300, but NO is almost as expensive for half the distance!

Whereas NOLA was less expensive for me than the trips I've taken to Oakland or Burbank.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

We need BuffistaJet.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

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.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

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.

Fly to LA and drive up with the LAista RV!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Just for a rough idea, May 19-22, hotel and flight, sorted by 'lowest' on Orbitz:

Cincinnati - San Francisco 461
Cincinnati - Phoenix 387
Cincinnati - Seattle 388

Dallas - San Francisco 438
Dallas - Phoenix 413
Dallas - Seattle 373

These all tend to be 'outlying' locations, naturally.

As far as something more central... well, that was this year's goal and the vote went to New Orleans. It's too late for "I told you so"s. And now its the West Coast's turn.

I repeat, weird!
