'Serenity'
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.

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 am! And if I do make it to Madison, I will be pilgrimaging to Green Bay. IJS.
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?
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.
FYI, Wiscon is held in Madison over Memorial Day weekend.
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?
I'm happy to look into some stuff, but to be honest I kind of like the Madison idea, so it'll be informational and not so much pimping.

Interesting sidenote: this was one of the few weekends where I found no blackout dates at the hotels I was looking at. UW commencement is the weekend of May 16-18, so I'd take that off the schedule right from the getgo.
