juliana, how close are you to the amount you need?
F2F5: I forget that everyone isn't us
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.
Funds update: $1485.
sj, I think the total amount needed was close to $1800 or so.
If we're still short on Thursday I can send in some extra dough.
I can add more too. I don't want juliana to have to pitch in more money after all of the work and question answering she had done.
I still have to pitch in for me and the husband.
Timeline question. Actually a couple. I was skyping with Shir, and she was wondering if she could virtually attend, say via webcam. When is Prom? How good/bad of an idea would it be to have a laptop in the corner to chat with Shir? And what time is that, to see if she would even be awake at that time, half way around the world?
Have we mapped out when group activities are happening? what/when/where? Or am I being too anal about this? There was talk of a lot of things, and we are only there a few days.
(sorry, new to this, and I confess, a bit of a calender freak at times)
Prom will be Saturday evening. Usually kicks off around 8ish.
There are sometimes a few planned trips, but rarely does everyone go on them. Typically a few different things happening at once. I'd say that Thursday or Friday people will work out what they want to do on Saturday morning/afternoon.
Given that, if a groups wants to do the Underground tour or something like that this thread is the place to organize it. When we had the F2F in SF we pre-organized a time for the Alcatraz trip, and last year in Madison we kinda worked out when a largish group wanted to go to House on the Rock.
We also usually have a whiteboard or easel of some sort in the hospitality suite so people can leave each other notes, let the group know when a trip is planned, list room numbers, and so on.
If the prom will start around 8pm on your Saturday, it'll make it 6am on Sunday here. So, for the sake of the little sleep I can have, if I'll join virtually via webcam around 9:30pm your time (7:30am my time), would that be OK?
Is the idea applicable, at all? Or will it make a too much of fuss on a busy-as-is event?
As we are about a week away, do we want to make a reservation for the underground tour? If the group is big enough, we can be the whole tour?
