I'd have to weigh the western jog against DC traffic.
hit the beltway at the wrong time and ... but yeah i know :) I should have looked up Carbondale.
You can totally make it!
You never know if a girl's gonna say 'yes', or if she's gonna laugh in your face and pull out your still-beating heart and crush it into the ground with her heel.

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.

Nashville's not on the East Coast. Wouldn't it have to wait for the Central location?
Oh, duh, yes -- it is really a central city (in the Central time zone and everything). I'm too used to being an East Coaster!
I was just in Philly this past weekend and loved it, so that one might have the edge for me, but any of the ones mentioned so far would be great. Provincetown with Buffistas would be LEGENDARY.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
All of these options sound good to me.
I am sad that I didn't get to lunch with Scola, etc., today, but ecstatic that I got to see Nora and Tom (for just a few minutes, but a truly excellent few minutes, in between their wine tasting and dinner) and JavaCat and Katerina and spend some time taking the waters, as they probably don't say anymore.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Jersey Shore sounds fun. I don't know the bus transit too well, but there's a direct train from Philadelphia to Atlantic City, and one from the Newark airport that makes a bunch of stops between Long Branch and Bay Head.
Philly sounds good too. As does Providence.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I got to have Thai food with Una tonight, and you guys didn't. Neener. She was wearing a nifty Firefly sweatshirt, and we figured out we were both at DragonCon this year.
She is also going to an observatory tonight (or very early tomorrow morning) to watch stuff smash into the moon. How cool is that?

Does North Carolina count as East Coast? C'mon NCistas, shouldn't you be pimping?

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Heh. I'm already thinking about going to NC in March!
I think Nashville was pitched briefly at the last central F2F, which weirded me out then and weirds me out now! I love that city, but it never said "Buffistas" to me. It said "getting away from family to go see Buffistas."
Jersey would be funny. I've never been to Jersey. Or, the American one. I've been to Original Flavour Jersey.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I think this year we can make it to the east coast F2F -- we need to see DH's folks, so we can combind the trip
of course if it is in NC, then I might have to wiggle my folks in too...
which is getting a crazy amount of time off at a very busy season. We'll see.

Our wings are not tired
I'm going to burn in hell for suggesting it, but Orlando could actually be fun for a F2F.

I pimped Durham last time and nobody was interested. Public transport is a serious issue in NC - i.e. there is none.
