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.
Illyria: Wesley's dead. I'm feeling grief for him. I can't seem to control it. I wish to do more violence. Spike: Well, wishes just happen to be horses today.

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.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
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.

The status is NOT quo.
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.

Well, it would be a different sort of prom to consider. It would only be about two hours long and alone time might be back at the hotel.
We've had a variety over the years, both Madison and Atlanta were too public for much shenanigans -- but that's why they made after parties.

Our wings are not tired
I know in the past that lots of folks have run back to their rooms mid prom for a bit in order to escape the crowd feeling. This would be difficult on a boat.
