Riding the SLUT? Muppet exhibit at the Sci Fi museum? I am *so* down with Seattle. Plus, the only other time I've been it was a freaky 97 degree day and Plei and Jilli and I spent the day moving as quickly as possible between air-conditioned shops, then had ice cream w/ my friend Judy. Which was a lovely day, but I'd like to go back.
I also adore Portland.
And, hey, Fay - I've got a friend in the US foreign service whose next post is Thailand... I just might have to see if I could swing a trip. When's a good time to visit, keeping in mind that I do pretty well with humid heat?
I'm kind of chuffed because, whatever we decide, it's looking like this will be the first F2F in a city I've never been to (or even lived in) before.
I'm creating a poll for possible dates - I put in all the weekends of June (observing that June 19-21 covers Juneteenth, Father's Day, and Solstice), and the last weekend of May. Any other dates that I should put in?
And do we want to ask a question about Seattle vs. Portland, or should we leave that until voting time?
If we have it on Juneteenth, that's my birthday!
Ahem.
I mean, bah. Father's day. Who needs it, right?
When is Memorial day in 2009? Is it not the weekend of the 31st?

It is not, it is the 25th.
Maybe include early July as well, in case May/June dates don't work for our Buffista teachers.

Sorry, I pulled the trigger early because work is going to come cascading down again. But I did put an option for other dates, and peeps are more than welcome to suggest alternatives here.
Frankly, if we end up with the 47th of March in the west corner of hell, I'll probably be there. (Not the southeast corner, though. I have my standards.)
