It's October. F2F is traditionally in May. People are busy. I think it's a little early to write off the East Coast.
What? She killed 'em with mathematics. What else could it have been?

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
Even without pros all of our F2Fs have been pretty grand, I don't think anyone should let that notion get in their way.
What were our talked about cities?
Boston
New York
Chapel Hill
Atlanta
Any others?

Yeah, I wouldn't panic just yet.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Maybe, but the past two years we've had the dates and city chosen by now, and last year we even had the hotel so that we aren't scrambling at the last minute. It's also easier to get better room rates at this point. It is October, but soon the holidays are here and no one really has time and then it's almost February.

And honestly? I'm not panicking. I'm just saying, more peopl ehave expressed an interest in having a Nashville F2F more recently than anyone expressing a want to have an East Coast one. If that's the case, then it shouldn't be discounted.

The status is NOT quo.
I put in a request for bids at Somerville hotels. Just 'cuz. We'll see if anything pops up.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I'm just watching everything for 2007 F2F. I know that no matter where it is, I won't be able to go (okay, if it's in Chicago, I can, but I don't think that's happening). I'm going to be student teaching and broker than a broke thing in the spring.

Do we have the numbers from previous years stored somewhere? I can spend some time checking Atlanta if no one else has, since I'm at least familiar with the lay of the land.

I can do something for Durham/Chapel Hill, maybe working with amyth. Can someone email me the RFP? Just poking around, I think we have very competitive hotel facilities. The downside of here is the rental car issue; i.e. people would need them.
