Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

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.

Greenfield Village/Henry Ford Museum, Detroit Institute of Art, Detroit Zoo, off the top of my head. Fox Theatre and the other one (I forget it's name), Tigers games, what else?

The status is NOT quo.

Madison is fine with me! Maybe we should post a Press announcement giving anyone with other cities to pimp a day or two to voice their opinions before making the de facto decision that we're going with that city?

Oh. You aren't all hockey fans, huh?

No ... but we could have a showing of Slapshot (knowlege of or interest in hocky not required)

I'm very uncomfortable with just deciding on Madison (and I like the place -- New Glarus and cheese curds, food of the gods), particularly in light of the fact that the discussion has been happening for a few hours. I think that we need to give at least 24-48 hours for people to chime in.

Whither thou goest, I will go .... (pretty much ... just don't go to New Jersey, please)

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Joe Louis Arena!

Oh. You aren't all hockey fans, huh?

I am! And if I do make it to Madison, I will be pilgrimaging to Green Bay. IJS.

Yeah, I really meant "talk about it for a couple of days and if there's no objection go with Madison". I was still pre-coffee, sorry.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

FYI, Wiscon is held in Madison over Memorial Day weekend.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

I know there was mention of Evanston again as a possibility. While I'd really like to avoid the 2002 host hotel (it's gone way downhill), the area itself is neat and has a lot to offer. Were there any Chicago-istas interested in looking into other prospective places there?
