You did, I wasn't being snotty, I swear!
I know, I was just making fun of you. :)
Heh -- considering that the pimpage discussion was in full swing by, what, Thursday in the hospitality suite, I assumed Vortex was joking.
I was kinda serious. the anticipation just about killed me this year, I don't know if I could handle it again. *sigh* I guess I will just gird my boobies and bear it.
Please don't gird the boobies! They should be free range, so we can all enjoy their expansive goodness.
I know, I was just making fun of you. :)
No you weren't! You don't like me anymore!

I agree about the anticipation being SO HARD.

gives aimee a squishie.
you know, come to think of it, I don't think that I gave any squishies this year.
You could have given some ....
I know KateP wants to pimp Northampton, MA, as well. (And since I luvre that little quirky city more than I can say, Ima bring it up now).
Also...can of worms...I would like to plead that we at least consider late June instead of late May. I honestly don't think I'll be able to go to this F2F if it's in May, so I'll admit selfish motives.
for Boston-area stuff, there's a conflict between late May (graduations galore, huge demand for hotels) and late June (start of sumemr tourist season. It does depend on the region, but I'd wager Boston/Cambridge and Northampton would be definitely impacted by graduations, due to the huge concentration of schools and students. Not sure about Salem. Ima check when Salem State graduation is.
Would mid-April be better for teachers/students, or is anything during the school year going to be just as bad as late May?
Third week in June is what I'd propose. Right before the tourist season but after most of the graduations.
ETA: Jessica, basically for me, unless I'm on vacation (next year that will be the last week in March and the first week in April), any time before school gets out is deadly.
It's not all about me, obviously, but it is true that it's generally very difficult for any teacher/student to take days off of work/school because of the reprucussions from the school.
