After conversation, here were the dates we'd narrowed down to:
- May 29-31
- June 5-7
- June 12-14
- June 19-21
- June 26-28
- July 10-12
- July 17-19
Juliana, I'd love to have a chance to vote for more than 1--maybe ask people to pick their first and second choices in one question and then pick up to two dates they couldn't attend in a second question?

So:
FIRST date choice? [blah blah dates]
SECOND date choice? [blah blah dates]
ALTERNATIVE date choices (pick 2)? [blah blah dates]
Like that?
I think I'd like to keep it simpler and do first, second, third - that way I don't have to parse the alternatives. But I will keep in the "I cannot make it to these dates" question.
Drew and I (well, at least Drew, and probably me too) will mostly likely be gone from July 18th-August 16th to work on the Nick cruises. (I'm hoping I actually have a job with them this time, not just a tag-along situation.) I'm crossing fingers and toes for June 27 or July 11 for my own selfish purposes. But if we get Brenda in June and no Fay or Fay in July and no Brenda, I will cry and cry. (I know, I know, we'll never find a date to make everyone happy. I'm just going to sit over here in my denial bubble, don't mind me.)
x-posty:
Juliana, I just meant a question like: "Pick your top two choices for dates," but listing first, second third is fine too. Whatever looks easier to you.
Oh goddamit, it ate my post...
Quick version, if we're going voting 1,2 & 3 can we add August 7-9 for completeness sake? This is a pretty temperate city, after all.
IMHO, include more than 1 August date. Wouldn't it be great to have ND, Kristen, Pete, Jilli, and Fay? Perhaps we can find one that would work for all of them and lots of others as well.
It will be what it is. If things push too far into August I will most likely be either out on a Nicklodeon cruise or designing a musical. Then it is time to start work on Halloween again. We pick dates and if it works out we will be there.
DC people-- I made a reservation for 7 people tomorrow at 7 under Lee. See you then!
I'm not sure I'll be able to make it to Bistro du Coin tonight -- I've got a bunch of work that I've been putting off, and I realized I really need to get some done today. If I can finish enough this afternoon, I'll be there. Really sorry to miss you, if I can't make it.
Sorry to hear we may miss you Hil.
