We broke up because he came out, not because of anything bad.
oh, that's fine then.
Oh, Pacey! You blind idiot. Can't you see she doesn't love you?

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

I think Baltimore is lovely, there's lots of stuff to do and it's quite close to both DC and NYC. (according to my driving experience. YMMV) However the summer weather thing is an issue....june through september can be really sticky and disgusting. But as long as the major locations have A/C and there's a pool...

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Unless we go with Portland, I don't think there's anywhere that summer isn't hot and sticky and gross. At least, everywhere that I've ever been on the east coast during the summer has been hot, except for places up in the mountains.

The status is NOT quo.

Yep, this.
I think we will have a lovely time no matter where we go.

we used to stay with relatives in rural Vermont every summer and it was HEAVENLY. I would totally suggest their beach house except that a) it's a bloody long drive from any airport b) there's no "hotel" within a 20 minute drive, and c) they don't have room for more than 18 really friendly people. Including sofas and floor space.
Oh, and they might frown upon me inviting strangers into their home. *shrug*

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
A data point in Brooklyn: For a weekend in February, the Crossword Puzzle Tournament group rate at the Brooklyn Marriott is $185. It's a big group.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
not sure we can go at all this year, but pretty much if I can go , I will go wherever.
This weekend reminded me that the most fum for me is just hanging. I don't have to do much.
I think a hotel with reasonable room rates, a gathering place and a few restaurants that can handle a crowd are the important things. Public transport is the next thing on the list.

We've already done SF, but it is never hot and sticky and gross. It is 62. It is always 62. Except when it isn't, but that's rare.

I'm imagining Buffistas taking over Waterbury/Montpelier, and it's making me laugh and laugh and laugh. The Ben & Jerry's tour -- in corsets! Too Much Candy -- in my brother's restaurant! (It IS a kickass place to eat and consume much beer, but it's probably not big enough to fit all the Buffistas who attend an F2F.)
