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!
The availability of bed/couch room for F2Fers will help a lot if the price of the hotel is more expensive. It's a factor in the location pimpage.
The advantages of a prom location in walking distance of the hotel include costume changes, no drinking & driving, and the possibility of taking breaks from promage. I found it helpful to be able to go and chill in my room from time to time at previous F2Fs.
JZ, you do realize that if the F2F is in SF and I can somehow go, I'm totally staying with you? Okay, good, just so you know.
Bring your laptop. You can rip some CDs. SA and billytea both gorged on my collection.

Yes, this. I take time outs in large crowds, and having my own room nearby is pretty important to me.
Also, keeping aspects that worked well at previous F2Fs is a good thing, but so is trying new formats in my opinion.

I don't have a laptop!
Maybe my new job will give me one for...business.

You've got a year to get one. Or I suppose an iPod.
I've had the pleasure of couching at both the Zmayhem and Perkins residences and I can vouch for the excellent hostage. (That is host-age, not the hostage like they bound me up and stuff)

We wanted to. We were out of tape.
The time-outs is definitely a consideration. OK, so I factor the possibility of an offsite prom to hotels in the SOMA area, which is where the bulk of the possible rehearsal spaces are likely going to be located. Luckily, there are plenty of hot little hotels SOMA, as well.
Just the sort of thing I needed to know. Thankee, peoples.
