William ,'Conversations with Dead People'
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!
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.
You gots it, Johnny Theremin. I should be able to post the info some time tomorrow.
I can do it without the euphemisms, then. Sometimes people get skiddish around technical-sounding stuff wrt polling was my thinking.
then?
We've never had an open bar.
We did in N.O.
Mild Negative
My problem with this is that it doesn't tell us whether the person will/probably will come or not. Would anyone else find it more helpful to say
Definitley come
Probably come
Probably won't come
Definitely won't come
or something along those lines?
But that's not really enough. If someone'd definately come, either way, but would prefer one, that isn't reflected at all.
I suppose Question 3 might be enough to deal with that.
I suppose Question 3 might be enough to deal with that.
That's what I was thinking.
Okay - keeping in mind that I tend to not be in here unless I'm personally involved (this time, an obvious yes), and don't have a lot of the history.
I don't want to kerfuffle anything here, so let's have a code phrase: if this method is kerfuffle-making, Debet, for heavens sake, say "DEB! BAD! NO!" and let's move on.
Since we only have two cities in the running, shouldn't it be simpler than this? Preferred, second choice, will attend either?
I have this uneasy feeling in the pit of my tum about suggesting that, but it honestly seems simplest, with only two choices on the table.
It totally should, and I'm sorry if I'm coming across as argumentative. I'm just leery of a situation like last year, where I get the feeling a lot of people voted for where they most wanted to go, and no so much for where they were most likely to go, if you get my meaning. Admittedly, these two cities are much less likely to have that sort of issue.
Yeah, last year was quite a different situation. The one and only vote was between three or four (I'm thinking four) cities. This year should be much simpler.
