Vortex, I wish I could, but this is a task my mother and I plan on doing at her beach house.

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

My selfish wish on Providence includes friends that live nearby, and the possibility of luring DXM to attend. Also, I have never been there. And yet I generally leave the voting to those that have a real preference because I am determined to attend wherever it is. I've never seen Nova Scotia either - come on Halifaxistas, represent!

I've never been to Providence or Philly, so I'm more into those. Plus, I know that if I go to NY, I'll spend too much money :)

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I'm keeping out of the discussion mostly, as attendance by more than one member of Zmayhem is very doubtful and I had my turn last year.
Phooey. I started missing everyone and everything pretty much the minute Matilda and I stepped out of the car onto the curb at the airport, and it hasn't gotten any better since.

The status is NOT quo.
Can we narrow down to those top three dates (weekends of 6/26, 7/11, and 7/18), which the pimpers can use to get solid numbers, and now move on to official Providence (I assume you want to take point, sj?), NYC, and Philly pimpage?
My suggestion is that if one of those dates doesn't work in your city, you do a combo city/date pimpage for the ones that will. Thoughts?
Also, can we set a deadline for the vote so everyone know how much time they have to put together their sales pitches?

Like I said a while ago, 6/11 and 6/25 are out for New York. I don't know about July dates since they weren't on the table when I had the discussion with the hotel.
I'm not sure if I can get the same bid with multiple dates even if its only a few multiple dates.
Why is it we can't put up a poll for the usual number of days and pick a date?
Then the pimpers can have that information (both date and an estimate of participants) and negotiate with the hotels. THEN we can say what each option is and vote on location.

Sounds like a plan!
