Me!!! (waves)

Yay!

Epicpalooza, Epicpalooza, Epicpalooza

Just 'cuz I wanted to see it again. Hee.

And now I'm out of here. My friend doesn't have internet at home, so my connectivity will be spotty after tomorrow morning. I'll try to check in as often as possible (I foresee making friends with the people at her local Panera).

Vortex, you'll give me a call if I don't manage to show up in here to get hookup info? Thanks. Smooch!

Re. the annual F2F.

Alas, work circumstances mean that I have not yet been able to find the time/energy to do a proper round of research on St. Louis as a venue for the next F2F.

aiieee ... I just realized - I have a hair appointment at 1:00 on Saturday. So ... Friday?

So far, I've only heard from Todd and Fred. Any other DCers available? Also sending an email to the list.

I'm still sick. And frankly, tired of being sick. But need to stay warm and low to get rid of this ick.

One of these days, I swear, I'm going to be a real girl again.

Any other DCers available?

I'm on the fence for Friday until I get a better idea of where/when because I'll have to coordinate care of our puppy and who has the car when with my DH.

x-posty with Press:

Not meaning to nag, but if people have an interest in having a Midwest F2F this year, we really need to get make decisions and take action. If there isn't interest this year, please ignore me, but I would hate to go much longer and not be able to have one at all.

So far the only city that has been officially pimped is Madison by SailAweigh, but we'd also talked about St. Louis, Memphis, Ann Arbor...so here's the pimpage info I'd posted a few months ago based on what we've done in the past. I think it's probably too late for the earlier dates, but I'll throw it all there FYI.

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 as close to $100 for rooms as possible)

---

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.

Here is a link to Sail's proposal: SailAweigh "F2F 4: Too Much Candy, Never Enough Mojitos." Dec 3, 2007 8:07:13 am PST

In the meantime, if people are interested, perhaps meet in the F2F thread and start putting it together?

Yes! Let's get this going. I'm not in any of the above, but happy to help out however I can.
