Screw tradition; next year's F2F will be in my apartment. 500 square feet of FUN, not including the attic!
But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It's hard for you.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

Them's fighting words. Do not mess with the rotation.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
I wonder if South West will make it in the rotation while I am still in Dallas. I'm surprised how many little museums and historical things there are around here. And if it's timed during the Texas State Fair, even better.

omnis, I adore you and totally dig the wanting to have it in your back yard, but Romance Writers of America is headquartered in Texas and every few years we have national conference in Dallas. I've been to Dallas twice in the last four years and Houston one other time. If we're to do Texas can we lobby for Austin? San Antonio?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Those would be my top two Texas choices. Sorry, omnis.

Hey, we're putting the cart before the horse here (at least until year after next). We're east coast next year :)

I know... I know... I just have knee-jerk reactions to Dallas. That was the conference where we were assaulted by the Mary Kay ladies having their conference at the same time we were. Trapped in elevators and heckled in hallways. Only place we could escape them was the bar since they're not allowed to drink in public.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Awww. It would be like the good old days. Corsets and kilts in elevators with church groups.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
There were Mary Kay ladies at the hotel where a bunch of us stayed for the last math conference I went to. It was weird. They were all perky in the morning, and talking about sales techniques. Something about super-gluing a penny to your business card, that would make people more likely to call you.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I lobbied for Houston last year (last year? Madison was central, right?) and there was pretty much no interest. And now I don't live there any more.
