I thought Theo dropped Tucson. Seconding July dates as well as June.

What is it with transportation people, I tell you! I think there are so many acronyms, they forget to think about what they might be. There is a region-wide program in the SF area called that was called "PMS" for years. No one thought about the acronym! "This way to the PMS Workshop." Eventually it was changed.

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?

BANGKOK F2F, BAYBEE!!!!!!!

Ahem.

To be honest, the weather is fairly consistently Very Bloody Hot Indeed. The rainy season (right now) is a little less hot, which is nice, but it has the downside of the whole Sudden Enormous Rainstorms, which can be irritating if you're trying to go out. (Although usually the rain is in the evening/late afternoon. And it's kind of fabulous, so long as you're not in it.)

Which is as much as to say - come whenever you can! Yay!

"This way to the PMS Workshop."

Hah. That's awesome (not quite as awesome as riding the SLUT, but still very very good). I've lived here all my life. How did I miss this?

do y'all know about the Wgasa Bush Line Railway at the San Diego Zoo?

Laga -- yes, I've been on it!

I've been to San Diego a handful of times and have been wowed each time, wandering around downtown or driving out to the zoo(s). Though I've never taken the trolley to Tiajuana, though I don't even know if that's working nowadays.

I'd still love to sponsor Tucson (which is, seriously a grand choice that people would be thrilled over if I could just GET THEM TO GO THERE AND EXPERIENCE THE GREATNESS, SIGH) but the lack of resounding Seconds means I'll have to drop back to Plan B, which is to kidnap random Buffistas and take them there until I build a large enough quorum, or Plan C wherein I build a Telepathic Ray Machine.

Have voted in poll - but I really can't do June. Would have to be July for me to make it. Which, from the sounds of it, may be out of the question, if it's going to be too hot/too pricey for the majority of potential attendees.

Bugger.

You do know, Fay ,that if decided to visit a couple of places in the US this summer -buffistas would appear. In fact,you might even have offers of places to stay.

I went to Tucson for a school conference, many moons ago. I loved it. It had a small town friendly vibe, and it was cooler than Phoenix at the time.

I was in Tuscon for a national yearbook convention while in high school. From what I remember, it was a nice place.
