F2F 4: Too Much Candy, Never Enough Mojitos.  

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.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

But is it $259 total, or $259 for each leg of the round trip?

Our wings are not tired.

airfare.com is a great search engine, too. Sometimes even better results than sidestep.com or kayak.com.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I'm finding pretty much nothing for DCA to Madison for under $350. Dulles is a pain to get to, but I'll fly from there if it's significantly cheaper. I'm not really finding much from there either, though. There's the $259 from Baltimore, but that's also a pain to get to. Still considering.

Kayak shows you roundtrip fares.

I sent some money in to the Prom, etc fund. Do we have an update or a target? Not trying to be pushy, just eager to help out more if it's needed.

Great write-up, P-C. That parking garage beep is still cracking me up!

Enjoyed the post, P-C. And as for my new tag - truer words...

F2F update:

The fund is up to $374.91 right now. Thanks to all who have donated, we are one quarter way to having what we need.

javachik, for some reason PayPal didn't send me notification of your donation, I try to send everyone a reply when I get one. I'd like to thank you here for your generosity!

Sail, maybe we (doesn't have to be you) should post a reminder every week or so in this thread or in Press? I know for me things tend to slip unless I'm prodded to remember. Because I am five and can't handle the grown up stuff on my own, probably.
