Laura, last time I asked for a show of hands we had 25 folks who thought they could attend. As we know, at two months before the F2F that can change, but I wouldn't expect it to change drastically.
There are no absolutes. No right and wrong. Haven't you learned anything working for the Powers? There are only choices.

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.

Update time:
Even though we had a smaller group than Shannon realized, there is no room available for the prom on the 21st. I told her we just couldn't do the 20th and would look to the Great Dane to host our prom.
Based on that, I told her to leave our room block in the Quality Inn. It's closer to the Great Dane than the Candlewood. I figure the less stumbling we have to do, the better. Same amenities as Candlewood, plus fresh towels daily and free breakfast.
In the meantime, I'll be calling Tim later to let him know we want to reserve something with them. Big question is, at the $500 price tag with a two hour minimum for the patio are we interested in reserving it for any amount of time? For one of the rooms, we could probably swing 4-5 hours easily. Oh, one thing to note--we can have our own music in the room. Can't on the patio, because half of it is still available to the public. Thoughts?

I say room, not patio since we'll want our own music. Have we done anything about an AV system for music? Full Compass is in Madison and I'm planning to have dinner with my sales rep while I'm in town, I may be able to swing a deal on the audio system if needed.

ND, I'm the only local and have nothing for sound. If you could arrange loaner stuff for us, that would be awesome.

Okay, I'll work on that. I'm sure I can get something through my guy at Full Compass. Maybe he'll let me demo some new gear.

Sadly you won't be getting your own swoopygoth this year. House O' Reason isn't going to be attending the F2F.
