Wait, I thought Pete was pushing for us to drop June and earlier dates from consideration just a few days ago? Now half of July is problematic too?
I don't fancy spending the next month trying to get librarian out of the carpet.

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

Typo Boy, July in Seattle is very unlikely to be 90's. Possible but unlikely. Humid is equally unlikely.
Matt, yes I do prefer July, early July to be exact. Late June and mid August would be my second choices. I wasn't pushing to drop June (at least late June) but a poll that lacked July as an option was very troubling.
The fact is that in Seattle you could do late August and the weather would still be very manageable for probably most every one.
As for the specific dates, I have already stated that the Weekend of July 31st to Aug 2nd should be avoided as things will be very busy & expensive in the city and I would be remiss in not at least telling the Buffistas of the one weekend we're not going to be in town. I mentioned this some time back.

It did hit a peak of 95 a few days in July 2007. But OK not usual. If it needs to be July, I'm for early July.

I'm good with going with Seattle since the poll was so heavily in its favor. I'm also good with just adding July 11th and 18th as options to the dates we'd suggested and re-polling on that (unless anyone had alternate dates they'd like to consider, which would also be peachy keen). I'm also fine with re-polling the location if people feel strongly about that. Basically I'm good with whatever so long we add a couple of early July dates as possibilities.

DC people, does dinner at Bistrot du Coin on Sunday Nov. 2nd work for people? Maybe at 6:30?
How many people think they can make it?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I'm pretty sure I'll be able to make it.

YAY Hil!
I'll email you and Maria separately then, Vortex.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Maybe -- Teddy is supposed to have his pill at 6:30 (though there's some flexibility), plus we have to come in from Centreville.

Would 7:00 work better?
