Just one point, as well, which isn't a small one: for those of us coming across the country, the plane ride really is enough; I think a location requiring both a plane ride followed by a train (or bus) ride would be difficult, both in terms of time and cost.

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.

This is a really important point - we don't want people traveling from far places to spend half their F2F weekend getting there.

The Buffistas could descend upon my family!
And descend we would. Like locusts.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I just woke up from a dream about the next F2F... Sorry, I couldn't make out where it was, but the hotel had a bookstore in it, that had two floors to it. Sadly for my ability to go get ready for prom, the exit on the second floor was surrounded an avalanche of broken shale. I'm pretty sure there were only a few books, old, dusty, crappy paperbacks that no one wanted to read. I never did manage to get to my room to get changed.
The moral of this story - beware of hotels with sad, empty bookstores.

Also, we might raise a few more eyebrows in a smaller town when the corsets and leather come out and I'm not sure that's an additional item we would want to deal with.
Seeing this right after Matt's Provincetown comment made me smile.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Yeah, I don't think there's anything we could possibly cook up that would raise eybrose in P-town.

Is P-town hard to get to or relatively expensive in the time we're discussing?

Because books.
It's all the way out on the Cape, and it would be expensive in season, I think. It would mean driving out there after flying into Boston for most people, I believe.

If we were to go that route we'd be better off just having it in Boston, which at least has public transportation and some hotels that don't charge seaside resort prices.

“Not dead yet!”
I know Nashville was mentioned in passing and it's a fun town, although it would be hot as hell depending on when. Plus, humidity. Was Portland as in Maine, suggested/looked at, in any way? Would it be any cheaper than Boston?
