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

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.

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.

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?

Our wings are not tired.
I think it was determined that Nashville is great, but it's actually not Eastern, it's central (so a possibility for next year).

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
With economy the way it is, maybe choosing something hot as hell that is cheap for that reason is a good way to go. Choose nice place with good air conditioning and lots of facilities in Miami or someplace. Maybe rent a couple of air conditioned vans for a day trip to beach or whatever. (If you don't insist on the East maybe Austin - don't know if there is a season you can get offseason discounts there). Keep the cost down, and air conditioning keeps it from being miserable for people who hate heat. (Other thoughts: condos).
At any rate, maybe we should try for a lower price range this year. In this economy ought to be someway to have a fun gathering at lower per night cost. (And no, I probably won't make this one either. Does not make the suggestion a bad one.)
