Buffy ,'The Killer In Me'
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.
Pacific Northwest is northerly enough that a July f2f should work out great temperature-wise the way Madison did, right?
If Southern California or someplace in the Southwest is an option this time around, we should probably consider much earlier for those locations.
[link] Mmmm, mmm, long days in WA state in July, too. I picked Anacortes for the city in WA State (it's a harbor city for the San Juan Island ferries) and the sun rises around 5:15-30, sets around 9:00-15.
For Perkins' visit to DC - Bistrot du Coin? are they open on Sunday evenings? I know they have the big table upstairs (from when Suzi was in town).

That place was NUMMY!!! Easy access to the Metro too!
I like both those things!
Yes, that was a consideration - close to Metro, a place for a large-ish group, and yummy (not necessarily in that order).
(I kinda had a lot of fun in Madison)
YAYES.
I thought I'd look at the Salish Lodge for the heck of it. It's at Snoqualmie Falls, the place in the opening credits of Twin Peaks. This [link] They are completely booked for July and August of next year. I doubt we could have afforded it anyway, but, yeah.
Fort Worden in Pt. Townsend is interesting. Upon a closer look, it's sort of like the Presidio in SF if it had been converted to vacation rental housing: lots of houses all converted for guest use, plus a beach and an upper camping area. It would seem to have a range of lodging, then, for all budgets. Folks can group up for house rentals, or camp. The camping isn't dirt cheap, actually. It's around $30 a day, but still, if you had a $150 lodging budget, you could stay 5 nights instead of 1.
That comic is totally neat, Kristin!
Kristin, I love that comic! And thanks for the heads-up about the software, too -- I could see possibly buying that for a program at my library, since I have a lot of kids who are really into comics.
