I'm not happy with the accessibility thing, Laura, but Melissa said that people could request first floor rooms and they'd move people around to accomodate that. The suites (except the hospitality suite) are on the second floor, though.
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.
Brendon would happily pick up and carry people, gropes optional. (seriously, he has on more than one occasion grabbed one side of a wheelchair when friends needed a lift)
Yay Brendon's coming! (I might have to yell at him about the Christmas thing, but not a lot ;) )
hm ... how is Brendon at LOOMing?
Brendon is taller than looming.
Well, he has the advantage of height ... but he smiles a lot (which is kind of anti-loom).
Taking over a theater for OMWF? Brilliant. Even if it doesn't work, people could descend on Rocky Horror.
Go Ginger!
Ginger, does the hotel not have elevators?
Um, not that Brendon-assistance wouldn't be lovely. But schlepping luggage and food trays and drink crates and such up even one flight of stairs might be best avoided if possible.
Also? I am SO up for Rocky Horror, and YES on OMWF singalong. Thanks, Ginger.
Old hotel. No elevators.
We won't have to deal with stairs at all to take stuff to the ballroom, though. There's a service entrance right to the parking lot.
Damn. Victor & Lea will be out here doing West Coast poetry stuff that late, including presenting workshops at my school on the 16th and 17th. Unfortunately, that's going to make attending difficult for any of us. Was the March 24th date not a possibility at all, Ginger? (Yes, asking selfishly. But because I love Buffista goodness!)
In not!selfish terms, do we have a guestimate for total cost, then? If it is $1175 for ballroom + cleanup, it would be great if we could figure out how much more we'll need for food/liquor so we can start fundraising ASAP. Ginger, are you willing to be PayPal point, or should we work through someone else?
