I'm just happy we're getting one possibility in! If there is ANY chance we can go, I need to get the dates/place in the next couple of weeks. I have to book our tickets home for the family reception, and I've been waiting for a decision here to see if it might fall on one side or the other of that weekend and therefore be a possibility for us.
Not that it's all about me, of course. Just one case.

I'm kind of bouncy about the chance that a NYC F2F might be even remotely possible. Like Boston and Vegas, it's always been one of those cities that seemed like (a) obvious Buffista fun, and (b) it was just never, never going to happen.
When is a reasonable time to set for a vote? Do people need a week? two? to be ready?
I don't think that we've had formal pimpage yet, have we? Before we vote, we need to set timelines for pimpage. Plus, you cant' fully pimp until you have a response to the RFP, have all of the pimp cities responded?
Formal pimpage ... sounds almost like dress code for prom.

I have a response and will give a more elaborate write-up if wished, but she can't give us hard numbers until we give her dates.
If we have the F2F in NYC we have the option of doing a non-hotel prom in the city.
I'm friendly with the manager and some of the bartenders and could probably get us a deal (and certainly treated right) here Of course there are many other options as well. Getting home drunken is no problem as public transportion is king in the land of No Designate Driver.
We could also do a boat charter. This one doesn't leave from our dock, but surely there is one that does or leaves from a port nearby.
No boats, please. Hard to escape for alone time on boats!
In terms of official pimpage, could anyone else who plans to pimp officially do so by the end of this week, maybe? Then we can vote and go from there.
