Weighing in on the date discussion -- if we do the 3rd week in May again, i won't be there, as it will be the birthday weekend of the big 3-5.
F2F 4: Too Much Candy, Never Enough Mojitos.
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: Madison, WI from June 20-22 2008! Official website.
Pretty pics, Kristin!
I'm pretty much echoing what flea said about NC. Our area is v. car oriented. The new hotel on Franklin St. will be open by then, but I suspect it will be out of our price range, though given that they're calling it a "premiere luxury boutique hotel."
Our area has a lot of cool stuff, it's just scattered. Mass transit is laughable, and mass transit on the weekend is damn near nonexistent.
eta if we were to do it here, it would have to be post graduation, which as pointed out is around Mother's Day. The town clears out nicely during the summer, but it is hot.

true, but if they are new, they may be able to work with us on the prices.
Kate, I would love to meet in Northampton, especially since I have another non-buffista couple I'd like to see there. My only concern would be that anyone counting on the train for transportation might have issues.
Then again, I haven't really heard from anyone else specifically, so maybe I'll just come visit you! :-)
I'm going to rent a car, so I'll have my own wheels.

also true. I'll keep an eye out, and get in touch when they've opened.
Los Angeles has pretty disfunctional public transportation and we did fine here getting folks around in cars.
(Per Apocalypse): I'm definitely up for F2Fing with Trianglistas.
I work very close to the Mall (walking distance from the Folklife Festival, though I'm the person who walked 3 miles to see Roger Rabbit way back when), and lunch one day is also doable for me.
...moved from Beep Me because I SO know better...
smonster...Yay Folklife! One of my favorite events of the year. And this one sounds terrific.
I'll be around that weekend and would love to meet up for a stroll of the Festival.
(Also? I have a gift certificate for a 'goth-bellydancing' lesson. I'd love to hear about your entry into the world of hip shaking. I'm nervous.)
I live on the Hill, 8 blocks from the Festival site, so am completely flexible on timing. My profile addy is good if plans come together.
So, who's up for the next F2F on the ocean wave? Around Thailand?
