I'll try to get some numbers for Seattle over the next week or so, too. Do we want to just look at the city itself, or suburban areas too? My RWA chapter does a lot of stuff at a Bellevue hotel that always treats us well and could probably give us a good set-up for the prom, but it'd be a little bit of a drive to all the interesting stuff downtown.
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!
Yay! A West Coast year! This means I can probably attend, as my home leave point is currently Oregon.
Unless, you know, you guys wanted to have the F2F on Santorini...
Is that a nominations, Raquel?
Because, like America, we like to say that the F2F could be anywhere, (even though, well, unless you have the support of a major party, it's rather unlikely) so you can be on the ballot.
(Fortunately for us, there are more than 2 major parties in most of our F2F elections. Although a town without an airport is still rather like the creepy guy in flannel with no government experience and outlandish views on fire hydrants as his primary platform)
Susan, the airport area hotels handle a lot of convention traffic, too, so they're worth a check.
Hmmm, so which of the aforementioned folks was it that Scott was raising an eyebrow over hearing so much about, again?
Meeep! And the person I arguably talked to the most, that night, the velvet voice, himself, Matt the Bruins Fan. I've also met Jen.
I'd love to nominate Greece, because I think it could be really cool. There's a cruise line that does 3 islands (Crete, Rhodes, and someplace else I forget) starting Friday and returning Sunday. You sail while you sleep (or party on board, as the case may be) so daytime is all about exploring the islands.
But sadly, I just don't see any way to make the trip affordable for anybody, even me. So I'll not nominate it, and wait to vote on the other noms.
Edit: although it would be close for Nilly and maybe Fay, depending on her future whereabouts.
If I win the lottery, F2F 2006 in Greece is on me.
Put that in your breast and pump it, Empress.
BWHAHAHAHAHAHA!
a Bellevue hotel
No. Please no. Not Bellevue. gnnnng.
Signed, commutes to the damn Eastside every day and does not like it one bit, and also considers Bellevue to be bland and soulless, and not in the fun, leather-pants-wearing way.
Well, I'd say Bellevue is slightly more soul-having than Seatac, but I'm happy to limit it to the city limits.
