I thought it was odd that we ended up on so many different floors.
Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

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

Eh screw 'em unless they fine us.
The worst thing they can do is stick us in some Klimpton database as 'noisy'.
Unless there is some industry-wide database... in which case we'll have to start misspelling our name ourselves.

It's spelled Luxury Yacht but it's pronouced "buffistas".

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
The one warning about the Kimpton hotels is that they really need to be aware that we are numerous and not silent; if they have a block of rooms on a lower floor (or maybe immediately over the restaurant) so we're not walking on someone else's ceiling that would be the absolute best. The hospitality suite got constant noise complaints from downstairs and across the hall, and IIRC the complaints continued even though everyone kept dialing down the noise further and further.
Why wouldn't this be something to mention to *any* hotel, vs. just Kimptons? (I'm not familiar with Kimpton hotels, so maybe there's something I don't know about them.)

I seem to have some memory of us having noise complaints at another hotel but I can't seem to remember which one.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Tep, the Kimptons are a little more upscale than past hotels, and from what juliana said it sounded like they had done groups before but didn't really have much experience with fannish groups of any sort. The other Safari Inn and Holiday Inn guests weren't expecting nights of hushed pristine silence (and the hotels were smart enough to stick us off in or own corners/wings where we couldn't bother anyone but each other), but the Kimpton guests were expecting something a wee bit more posh, so even after the noise level went down below that at past F2Fs other people were still griping.

Or we just had picky people, you know?
If staying at a Klimpton means risking a greater proponderance of picky people we should take that into consideration. I don't think we're obliged to share that with future hotels though. We didn't exactly go rock star on them.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I did absolutely mention that we are, um, enthusiastic. And tend to roam the halls in glitter, corsets, and varying states of giddiness. That is a good thing to mention to any possible host of the Buffistas.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Tiaras have been on the wane, as of late. I feel the Empress ought to spearhead a tiara comeback this F2F.
