(Pete, StuntHusband, I know the two of you are rolling your eyes.)
I am currently blind and chasing my eyes all over the floor because they rolled right out of my head.
I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

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

Wow, Worcester, eh?? Is that a random place suggestion or was it discussed in Seattle? Either way, I wholeheartedly support it!
Seconding, though if folks also want to get into Boston it's a tad tricky. But HELL - I'd take F2F anywhere in New England. I'd love Portland, for example (the, ahem, original), but we don't really have any consulting resources for accommodations and such (me being utterly useless at it).

The only time I heard F2F 2010 discussed, the location that got people excited was Salem.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Jilli, I think if you told him about the day you lit water on fire he'd be utterly charmed. Particularly if is brother was there.

I, personally, believe Jilli. She's a million kinds of calm in these situations.

I checked into that last time the East Coast came around but the hotel situation was more limited (2 main ones in town) and pricier than what we usually go for. But who knows...

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Stunthusband would rapidly find his misanthropy would have him running screaming from the horrifying over-stuffed convention.
And this is precisely why I won't be going, probably ever. The one Dragon*Con I attended and last year's New York Comic Con totally cured me of wanting to go to horrifying over-stuffed cons.
I might be willing to coordinate a Richmond F2F. Of course, I'd love a Charlottesville F2F, but we have a teeny airport. It costs more to fly into and out of than Richmond, which is a hub.
And speaking of which, what's the airport sitch with Worcester? Or is that in the link? ::goes to look::

And just black out ANY time after September through early November (you know, just after Halloween). Summers have started getting awful too though. And the usual May time frame runs into Salem State College graduation.
It would need to be WAY off (any given) season here to work.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Mailed my check today to pay my last F2F bill. I winced -- but I still think it was very much worth it. Thanks for the good company, the good conversations, and all the entertainment.
