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.
Come on. You drop by for a cup of coffee, and the world's not ending? Please.

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 status is NOT quo.
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.
Yes, this. I take time outs in large crowds, and having my own room nearby is pretty important to me.

Our wings are not tired.
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.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
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.

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
If we can keep this inexpensive we'll get more people. The lack of Buffistas was Nawlins' only flaw.
There are a couple ways we could try and do that. Not being downtown (Evanston as opposed to Chicago) is one. A less chi chi place that would let us bring our own food -- and making that food simple. Or maybe not having food at the bash -- we could have dinner elsewhere and a cash bar at the prom. There's been talk in the past of a beach house, conference center, vacation condo, or dude ranch. There might be all sorts of ways to think outside the box and include as many Buffistas as possible.

I agree. That's rather what the idea of having the prom offsite, me doing the work and not charging for anything other than the fixings - which would probably be about a hundred bucks to feed fifty people, if it's just materials costs - and freeing up an additional six or seven hundred dollars, some of which can go into the communal pool for communal F2F use, be it hotel or airfare or whatever - was in aid of.
