FYI, Wiscon is held in Madison over Memorial Day weekend.
Let's not try to double up on a con weekend.
Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

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.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Were there any Chicago-istas interested in looking into other prospective places there?
I wish I could say I would, but there is no way I'll have time to do information gathering or prep work. Depending on the weekend I might be able to help with the actual events but that's the best I can realistically offer.

Why? Because of too many people? Wiscon is capped at 1000 registrants. Unless we're in the same hotel I don't see the issue.

I don't think it matters, because historically Mem Day weekend isn't workable for a lot of us anyway.

I'm all in favor of doing it the same weekend as the con. It would be one more possible thing to do, an interesting thing!

I'll be out of luck if we pick Memorial Day weekend—my cousin's getting married in New Orleans that Sunday.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Yeah, but if I was there and WisCon was going on, I'd want to go to that. And be bitter if I couldn't. Or be torn between hanging with Buffistas and going to con stuff. Much as there would seem to be a synergy in the two.

There's also a bus service running from O'Hare to Madison. At least, there used to be back in the '80s, and I can't think of any reason it would have been canceled.
when I was there a few years ago, they still did.
