Ah, alcohol. The cause of- and solution to - all life's problems!
How's it sit? Pretty cunning, don'tchya think?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
We've done that, Anathema. There's another one coming up soon.
Check the F2F thread. LA, last weekend in May. I can't speak for the rest, but I know I'll be drinking.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

We need to meet in the middle of the country. Make it easier for me to get there.
Which I guess is also a good arguement for NOT meeting in the middle of the country.
We could always just meet at my house.

Our wings are not tired.
Peace - an idea whose time has come. I really believe that we are a group that does not jump all over someone with a unpopular view. Can we please treat each other with respect?
I think this phase of establishing ways of making decisions is important, but none of these matters of procedure are so vital that we should start fighting with each other. We have a variety of opinions and everyone should feel free to express them.
I feel like such an old hippie, but slogans like "make love not war" keep popping into my mind.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Yep. What BHP said.
L.A., baby.
Last time, I got really drunk, and started a really good Wes/Gunn. Well, I liked it, anyway. Which is shrift's fault. The starting.
Also, as a B-cracy note, sort of kind of, this year we will have gender-separate bunny ears. I just bought 'em. All F2Fistas please keep that in mind when selecting outfits.

We did that last year. *g*

We may *all* be drinking.

What Laura said. Also, check out her tagline. I think we should all ask ourselves that before posting in this thread.
Also, how often are we going to need a serious vote process anyhow? I think we will need one for creating new threads, or deciding which new toys need to be added to the board (I suggest a wet bar), as these things would be a drag on our resources--peoplewise, serverwise, and possibly even moneywise.
The only other thing where I think we would need a formal, procedures-laid-out-in-advance system of government would be if we (heaven forfend) attracted a particularly malicious troll or had a current member turn into a troll.
