If it isn't down to the molecular "the band requires three bowls of M&Ms with the orange ones removed in the Green Room" level, it aint all that far off.
Jesus, Deb, I *told* you -- the YELLOW ones!
Wash: I didn't think you were one for rituals and such. Mal: I'm not, but it'll keep the others busy for a while. No reason to concern them with what's to be done.

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!

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

is it laura who hosts the F2F page
I've put together a page each year. For the DC F2F (I think) I put the hotel options and features on a page for our consideration. I'd happily put together a summary sheet of the various locations, hotel info, whatever.

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
Lord, I don't think our point people have the time or energy to get proposals from more than 2 or 3 hotels.
When I researched KC I called their convention bureau, gave them our specifics, and had ten preliminary proposals within two weeks. I didn't even call them back and start pitting them against one another and the prices were pretty good already.
I'd think, even without a convention bureau, that a good way to go about getting good deals would be to talk to more than one hotel.

I've already got proposals from two, one complete, one awaiting one piece of information. I'm going to start nudging a third (the Ramada) momentarily.
I can't speak for Susan or Aimee, but while it wouldn't occur to me to talk to ten hotels unless the first nine were flatly unsuitable, I certainly wouldn't talk to only one, either.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
For Vegas, I plan on sending it to the Vegas Convention people and let them do the footwork.
Did we ever get the breakdown of monies spent in NOLA from Drew? I know he's been a slacker soooper busy.

HEY! Do not diss the roadies, for they think your eight thousand dollar PRS Private Stock guitar is crunchy, and good with sea salt.
IOW, better to piss off the dragon. But in this instance, it isn't the roadies you're talkin' about, bebe. It's the tour management staff.

Um, yeah, we spent money.
Lemme pull all the crap from the hotel and see what I can get up here.

ND, speaking just from here, I don't really need it, unless I'm missing something. Because SF's costs are not likely to be the same as any other city's costs. So I'm-a gonna go by what the hotels can cut me, and use that as my reality check.
