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!

Same here.

Our wings are not tired.
I'd say repost the runoff with a nice big clear explanation - leaving no room for misinterpretation - about why it's being reposted.
One day seems too short. There are many people that may not even get to the board on a daily basis. Really! I'm sure of it.

I think that keeping the poll open looks like we're reopening because someone doesn't like the results, which I believe is bad precedent.
You're right. I didn't like the results. But not because a particular choice won. What I didn't like was that so few people voted and it was so close and it wasn't posted in Press that it would end so quickly.

I saw the post in Press and assumed that the voting would be open for several days since it's the Buffista standard for voting to run for three days.

Likewise - I happened to vote quickly as soon as I saw the poll notice, but my assumption was that it would be open for several days to get the widest possible spread of opinions. I've no objection to it being reopened or some other measure taken so that those who missed it get to have their say.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Ok, then. I will keep the poll open through Saturday. Pay no attention to the previously-posted results.

For Labor Day I'm going up to see Ginger and we're going to DragonCon. I'm sure there are other Buffistas who are going and I thought we could do some kind of F2F thing.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Labor Day weekend I will be in Chicago attending Bouchercon. (named after Anthony Boucher, not Joe) I'll actually be there from Wed. night to Monday, while G will get there Friday night.
Chicagoistas, what say you?
