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.)
picnic tables outside. We'll be fine.
Well, we may not have parted on the best of terms. I realize certain words were exchanged. Also, certain... bullets. But that's air through the engine. It's past. We're business people.

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

Montpelier is awesome, and there's lots of little funky things to do, and it's all Lebowskis and hippie chicks all the time.
Dude, that would even tempt me to go out there!

The status is NOT quo.
I adore Vermont, and Vermont in the summer is gaw-jus. I would be so tempted to find a way to get out if there were any possibility.

Um, but how do we get to Vermont? Especially for cheap, or quickly, for those who are further away or only have time to take one day off?

Fly somewhere larger and pool resources for a rental car?

This is sort of the problem with Vermont. And why it has taken me 2 years to see the place my sister built (the closest airport being Montreal).

Our wings are not tired.
Right, we talked about that a few hundred posts ago. The problem with the more remote locales is that people who can only take a Friday or Monday (or no day at all) off of work end up spending hours on a plane followed by hours in a car. (And I say this as someone who has one of the more flexible schedules on the board.)

It becomes especially troublesome for people that are already looking at a 5 hour plane trip combined with losing three hours due to time zones just to make it to the east coast. I do that trip a lot and even with an 8 AM direct flight it's 5 PM before you land in most west to east flights. If an hour or more in the car is added to that it gets pretty brutal very quickly.
I'm very much in favor of the location being near some kind of reasonably sized airport.

Speaking of easily accessible cities, has Boston been mentioned yet?
