me too! As soon as roommate D pays his rent I'm making hotel reservations. I've got friends driving up with me and sahring the room but they're in town to visit one's sister, not buffistae. Still maybe I can convince them to come to prom. Mojitos! Corsets!

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.

Chicago or Milwaukee are reasonable flight destinations. [ETA: Milwaukee about 65 miles, Chicago about twice that.] For people renting cars, I've gotten crazy deals from [link] - like a priceline for car rentals instead of airlines. I'm guessing that if people post their reservations as they make them, there will be carpooling opportunities abounding. If no one is arriving around you, Badger Bus [link] is also a good option.
From what's been posted here, it sounds like most of the Chicagoans will be heading out from Chicago on Thursday, but that could change as we get closer. I expect to be driving from Milwaukee on Thurs myself.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

what time are we meeting on Wednesday and where?
Cindy, you could take the commuter rail to North Station and the orange line to Chinatown or Downtown Crossing. I'll ride back with you if you like so neither of us are alone for the later ride to NS.

Me too! I can meet you in the lobby of your hotel if you like and we can make our way over together. I'll be leaving work (literally right across the river) at 5pm, should be there by 5:30 at the latest.

Just wanted to let folks know, I now have a Premier account with PayPal, so I can accept all forms of payment for donations to the F2F fund.

I'm out of work at four, or close to it, and I'm literally a walk up a hill and a couple blocks from the Omni Parkerhouse. Ordinarily, I'd say I'd meet P-C at a nearby bar, but, if I'm remembering correctly, you don't drink. Otherwise, I'd say let's all meet at Silvertone's, which is right around the corner from P-C's hotel.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Is there anyone who's going to be driving from Chicago on Friday? I'm still trying to work out plane tickets.
