Well, I should let you know that me & Jilli won't be able to make it this year. It's not the timing, it's not the location, we're just having to penny-pinch for the foreseeable future.
I will look forward to the oodles of posts, though.

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.

I used Yahoo Maps to find out about the driving distance today and it told me I should be able to make the trip in 6 hours. So apparently there's a massive space warp somewhere along US 78 that cuts the distance in half.

Ann, that's a ferret.
It's supposed to be only 9-10 hours' drive from DC. We may try that.

We drove to the Washington F2F.
Yahoo maps thinks it's 4 hours from Atlanta to Nashville, and I did manage that once -- at 70 mph all the way, with no traffic and no stops. Normally it takes at least 5 hours. I'd guess Memphis at more like 8, and that's if you're not trapped by the traffic black hole that is Chattanooga.
For the people driving, the hotel has a free parking lot with about 20 spaces, and after that there's street parking.

c'mon, it could be a true Buffista sprog. What greater honor than to be born at the F2F!

We'll only be a couple of blocks from Baptist Hospital (which now has a more neutral name). It's supposed to be a fine place to have a baby.
