I feel so much like I'm letting everyone down, but I'm trying to avoid later, bigger let-down.

Don't sweat it, at least you gave it a shot.

For what it's worth, my schedule for next year is getting progressively crazier, and right now it appears there's at least two entire weeks in our time frame where I'd be hard-pressed to attend even if it was in the middle of Worcester.

So I'm gonna assume I'm (once again) not able to make it. And maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised.

How many rooms did we end up using in San Francisco?

I'm hoping that's the kind of info on the form - anyone have it handy?

Here we are with energy and no information!

Also, I can't find archived F2F 2 and 3 threads. Possibly I am being stupid.

Here's 2 "F2F 2: Is there anybody here that hasn't slept together?" Nov 21, 2004 5:07:44 pm PST&post_id=1

Here's 3.

"F2F 3: Who's Bringing the Guacamole?" May 15, 2006 10:11:10 am PDT

They're not archived, just in closed threads.

Thanks, Aimee. Here's a prelimimary pimpage for Durham, NC, in my LJ. [link] I'll plan to edit and update as I gather information.

I'll try to talk to hotels/the convention bureau tomorrow, when I hope we'll have some numbers for a RFP.

Feel free to leave comments, suggestions, questions, favorite activities that you'd like me to look into. You can comment anonymously if you don't have an LJ; just sign your board name.

Kristin, thanks for looking into some Boston-area hotels. If you'd like to take the bull by the horns here, you may want to just submit one RFP to this site: [link]. It'll probably be the most helpful.

Nah, I really can't commit to organizing something on the East Coast. Arranging the hotel in NOLA from CT was rough, and I'd rather not do it again, especially if I'm alone. I would be willing to help if anyone else wants to take the lead, but since I don't think it's likely I'm going to be able to go at all and it's HIGHLY unlikely I'd be able to get there early, I think it would be better for me to bow out.
