Buffistas

Look, Angel, I know you've been out of the loop for a while, but I'm still evil. I don't do errands...unless they're evil errands.

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!

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!

Shit's all sorts of different now.

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.

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

I repeat, weird!

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

Not disagreeing.

I also think it has a lot to do with when you buy ticket, too. There is no rhyme or reason.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I think June would be more convenient for me than April or May.

All of the possible host cities have advantages for me.

Interesting. My comment wasn't an "I told you so"; it was just my opinion. It's not written in stone that the location of the F2F has to change every year. Moving locales was a thoughtful idea, so that the travel/financial burden could theoretically be equally distributed.

That said, my opinion, which I offered up since the discussion about the 2006 F2F has started, is that it might be a better idea to keep it central.

And now its the West Coast's turn.

Yeah, I get that. Like I said in my previous post.
