This is my boat. They're part of my crew. No one's getting left. Best you get used to that.

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

Because its based on how much you likert.
(My smartass hobby probably SHOULD)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, my. I didn't know it needed a name (or had a single inventor).
Cool.

I learned about in my PR class. And now I have learned that I've been mentally mispronouncing it.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I'm worried about getting a tie with no way of breaking it, so more data from the ballot is a good, for me.
Order of determing:
- % strong negative votes for each city (ie-if one has a lot more, then)
- % strong or weak positives
- % strong positive
- Question 3
My goal is to maximize the number of people who can come/will be satisfied (so, in a general sense, I'd rather have a place that everyone's ok on than a place that some people are super excited about and others don't like at all)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I was going for a mild positive and a mild negative, which I'd like to keep, rather than just a neutral in the middle.
In this case, I'd rather see it in plain English (or numbers, even) than euphemisms. I'd hate to see the vote go one way rather than another based on varying interpretations of "spiffy."

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
From the Seattle column of the Pimpage Page:
A range of Audio Visual equipment is available at a small charge. Ballroom Rental/Set Up: $750 per day. (They will drop the price of the ballroom to $500 if we spend $600 on food. A bartender will cost $50 for the evening for an open bar).
- Do we need to use the hotel's A/V equipment or can we bring our own? What exactly does "small charge" mean? IME, hotel A/V rental fees are way more than market prices. We should get A/V info from the SF Holiday Inn as well.
- We've never had an open bar. Is that a typo?

I can call them and check the AV prices/policies. What exactly would I be asking for?
I didn't mean to put open bar, it would be a cash bar. Oops.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Guys, I'm going to be a bit scattershot in here today - JZ's coming over for lunch and kitten worship.
If there's any information I've omitted from the SF bid, please to let me know, here and/or in profile email? That way, I can get back to Sheila and get responses.
I don't remember whether I mentioned it in the SF Pimpage or not, but the HICC is fine with us bringing in our own AV equipment, both for suite (if needed) and for Prom.
Out the door.

What exactly would I be asking for?
A four-channel mixer, and powered speakers (or regular speakers and an amp to drive them). The speakers should be big enough for the room. They should know how big that is.
We would be supplying the things we want to run into the mixer. Namely, a laptop, a microphone and a theremin.
Actually, they should be able to throw in a mic at little or no charge. Find out about that.
