Was anyone willing to pimp Baltimore? I really think we could do an awesome F2F there, but I don't know it well enough to pimp, and I know Lisah has tons going on now.

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

Yeah, we've got a few folks around there now.

I'm getting the pig!
I believe sj may be pimping Providence.
Or not.
It seems like it was difficult to get rates without exact dates so I thought we were voting dates first. No? My concern is voting on a city without knowing what range of prices we're in for could be problematic.

We could vote dates, get bids, and then vote the location.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

This seems to make the most sense.

Yeah, I think that's the best way. I don't think we have to settle on a date, just possibilities, then the prices will probably weed some out.

I don't know about the other cities, but I can't get concrete prices without a date.

The status is NOT quo.

Right, that was why I thought maybe it would be easier to pick cities first. I mean, price wise they should be roughly comparable, right? The main reason we sometimes vote date first is when weather in different regions will come into play, which doesn't apply with our current options. Since no one has spoken up to take the lead in Providence or Baltimore, should we vote NYC vs. Philly based on basic pimpage and then narrow down dates from there? Otherwise availability at one location will rule out potential weekends at another, which is a problem if the city without the limitations were to win.

Depends on what you mean by comparable. For my pimp, there is about a $30 range on basic rooms and no way to discuss what deals we might be able to cut on hospitality suite and/or ballroom space without a date.
If that's the case in the other cities, we may need a date first for reasons besides weather.

Okay. Never mind. I was just trying to help.
ETA: I think I put together a combo city/date initial interest survey last year. Let me dig that up and see if it might be useful.
