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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

That is one hell of a Pavlovian response.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Wrong thread. Der.

The status is NOT quo.
x-posty with Press:
F2F Jumpstart...
So I just watched Jessica's "Fucking Great" vid from the SF F2F the year before last and got all nostalgic. Since there aren't any current mini-F2Fs being discussed in thread, just thought I'd throw out a lure to see if anyone's ready to get back into planning mode for the annual F2F...if we want to have one in the Midwest this spring, we need to figure out the details soon to get a good deal on the hotel/Prom. We need to be booked before the New Year if at all possible.
Let the pimping resume?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I would try very hard to go to a F2F no matter where it is held. The closer it is to Chicago, the likelier I'd be to pull it off. My top three are:
1. Anyplace accessible by Chicago commuter rail. Some choices include Evanston, Geneva & Kenosha WI.
2. Kansas City
3. St Louis.
Those are all I recall from previous discussions. Were there others?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Detroit-ish (Ann Arbor, specifically, IIRC) is an obvious candidate, and I think Aimee has pimped it in the past. If not, this is not intended, and should not be considered as a nomination.

Hey Chicago-istas, it looks like my time tomorrow has been scheduled so thoroughly that I won't be able to meet up with anyone after all. Maybe next time.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I will start pulling together information on St. Louis. What sort of info goes into the initial round of pimping, again?

What Anne said. I'd be happy to throw Madison in the mix for this year's F2F.

Yippee!
Okay, here's a modification of vw's jumpstart post last year:
Things we need to decide:
When? Range for possible weekends (defined by Saturday): March 22, March 29, April 5, April 12, April 19, April 26, May 3, May 10, May 17, May 24, May 31, June 7, June 14, June 21, June 28.
Where? (All nominations should have a contact person (preferably local))
Where 2? Hotel/Prom location (trying to keep close to $100)

For pimping, I suggest the following format:
MY CITY PIMPAGE
Why here? Description of why your town/city rocks like a rocking thing. Past pimpage has included weather, links to fun events/museums/things to do, etc.
Initial Hotel/Prom Possibilities A few hotels you've looked into so far with tentative group rates and Prom locations/catering/bar/closeness to hotel, etc.

Several of us have handled hotel reservations in the past for Buffistas, so feel to ask if you need further clarification. I did NOLA and still have that schtuff somewhere.
