Actually, Sail, we're close enough that I think you might want to consider posting a couple of times a week and with a bit more sense of urgency. Just my two cents from my experience with NOLA. People (and I completely include myself in this category) often don't donate until they realize how close the event is and how increasingly urgent the need is. We're four weeks away now, right?
Dawn: I think a date should be in a real fancy restaurant, then champagne at a night club with a floor show, then ballroom dancing. Joyce: Unfortunately, we're not dating in a movie from the thirties.

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.

More like 6 weeks, Kristin. Most people get paid every two weeks. I think a once a week reminder will probably catch most people on nearly any pay cycle and be most effective.

Oh, I thought we were closer for some reason. Ignore the crazy blonde in the corner.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I found a $259 on kayak.
That's a long way to row.

Our wings are not tired
So Kristin and I are playing with the idea of flying in and out of Chicago for the F2F and driving down and then spending a few days in Chicago right after the F2F. Who in the Chicago area might be around, and would anyone be interested in letting us bum a space to stay for those couple of days?

You're welcome to stay at my place but you won't see me unless you're here before the F2F.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
amyth and I are talking about coming - cheapest flights for us are $259 to Chicago O'Hare. We'd get in Friday morning and leave Sunday night. So we'd be interested in carpooling/renting a car w/ others.
It's not definite yet, but I think we're leaning towards coming.

Also, thanks for the offer, aurelia! We may take you up on it, though I am very sorry that we won't see you.
