I've seen honest faces before. They usually come attached to liars.

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!

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

I can just go ahead and put some goodies here. It's not a ton of stuff. We haven't really had a chance to talk in-thread about the various Seattle goodnesses since the ball had to be passed part way through.

See, I made these 'cute' reasons Seattle is groovy...

So, Reason #1 for Seattle: Hotel ‘gets’ us and welcomes our brand of weird with Wheadon-loving arms flung wide.

Reason #2 for Seattle: Dude, check out the space and the stuff and the deal and the glavin... (that's about the suites being big with free internet and fridges and stuff)

The hotel’s amenities include: An onsite fitness center, heated indoor pool and whirlpool open from 6 am to 11 pm every day; Breakfast room open daily for complimentary hot breakfast buffet including Belgian waffles, eggs, sausage, oatmeal, cereals, fruits, cheese, juice, coffee, tea and more; On-site restaurant lounge offering a special “Lightning Round” happy hour every day from 4 pm to 7 pm with discounted appetizer and drink specials; A full menu is available until 10 pm and light appetizers and drinks until 11 pm; Room Service available.

Reason #3 for Seattle: Awesome free breakfast, cheap booze, hot tub.

Reason #4 for Seattle: A freakin’ FREE transit zone

I feel like we could have a lot of fun in a really awesome place where, due to all the included things, a person could spend very little and still have a great time. Or spend a fortune and have a great time. Or buy me a diamond tiara and have a REALLY great time...

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

Wow. Rock/hard place - except with two fabulous things on either side.

Exactly. So far, it's basically a no-lose. For me, if SF gets it, coolness. If Seattle gets it, less work and I get to go to Seattle, which I'll probably do in October, depending on the Barnes & Noble University Village schedule.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Damn. 2 cities reporting, and already I can't make up my mind.

I'm blinking at the Seattle hotel guy's comments - I left out Sheila's (HICC contact) rapturous fangirling, in the interest of space. She used to moderate a net-fan community for "Beauty and the Beast"...

We're going to need an all of the above option.

I'm down for a three week Buffista tour with stops at Seattle, San Francisco and Las Vegas.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Pretty!

I'll post a link in Press tomorrow, just to give time for edits before people who aren't usually in here do their look at it.

I've been pondering moving from a 3-option ballot to a 4 option (Strong positive, mild positive, mild negative, can't do). Any thoughts?
