I would ask for a coupon for a free night's stay. To confirm a reservation in a closed hotel is unacceptable.
All right, no one's killing folk today, on account of our very tight schedule.

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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Are we considering the poll closed now?
Final results: What is your FIRST date choice for the F2F 2009?
17% (7) May 29-31
7% (3) June 5-7
15% (6) June 12-14
5% (2) June 19-21
20% (8) June 26-28
17% (7) July 10-12
7% (3) July 17-19
7% (3) Aug 7-9
What is your SECOND date choice for the F2F 2009?
5% (2) May 29-31
10% (4) June 5-7
12% (5) June 12-14
10% (4) June 19-21
7% (3) June 26-28
17% (7) July 10-12
17% (7) July 17-19
17% (7) Aug 7-9
Pick TWO other date choices for F2F 2009:
8% (3) May 29-31
25% (9) June 5-7
22% (8) June 12-14
45% (16) June 19-21
31% (11) June 26-28
11% (4) July 10-12
28% (10) July 17-19
11% (4) Aug 7-9
What dates can you NOT come to F2F 2009?
48% (14) May 29-31
27% (8) June 5-7
24% (7) June 12-14
10% (3) June 19-21
24% (7) June 26-28
24% (7) July 10-12
20% (6) July 17-19
31% (9) Aug 7-9
So, using the method we discussed before, of 3 points for first place, 2 for second, 1 for other, and subtracting a point for a can't come, we get:
May 29-31: 14
June 5-7: 18
June 12-14: 29
June 19-21: 27
June 26-28: 34
July 10-12: 32
July 17-19: 27
Aug 7-9: 18
So the top three to go to the runoff would be June 26-28, July 10-12, and June 12-14.
Subtracting two points for each "can't come," we get:
May 29-31: 0
June 5-7: 10
June 12-14: 22
June 19-21: 24
June 26-28: 27
July 10-12: 25
July 17-19: 21
August 7-9: 9
So the top three that way are June 26-28, July 10-12, and June 19-21. So two of the top three are the same for either method, but that third one (June 19-21 or June 12-14) changes.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Are we considering the poll closed now?
We are.
I think I like weighting the "can't come"s heavier, but that's me.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I agree with that, actually.

I agree, but I'm not sure that I want a free night's stay, because I don't think I'll trust them to stay there. Still, I'll probably contact one of their other hotels or the main office once I get back, or maybe while I'm there if I have time.

Anyone have any Portland recommendations?
Yes. I recommend Portland.
(Fine, I could be more specific. What are you looking at?)

Pish. If it doesn't have a bookstore covering an entire city block, it's not the city for Buffistas.
