Here you all go: Click here to take survey for official dates for this year's F2F.
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.
When is the survey open until?
We should probably put that in press.
Next year is mid right? Does Denver qualify? Just wondering if I should pay attention so I can make y'all come to me next year.
Because I am a crazy person, I was thinking that it might be a good idea to choose dates and place for next year as soon as we're done setting this year up so that we don't put it off until the last minute.
I have heard back from the Providence Marriot. There room rates are either 119 for a double or 129 depending on the date. July 4th weekend was the only one that they could not give us a price for. I don't think they quoted a price for a hospitality suite, so I need to get back to them about that. The prom facilities would be free if we spend 800 on food and alcohol that night. I'll post more when I am back on my computer and I can see what they sent better.
800 on ... alcohol
Joe, Drew, and Vortex are taken care of then.
Debet, I'm crazy enough to sit next to you.
It might be worth considering a set weekend every year, picking a few cities in advance, bouncing back and forth from east to west to mid, and that way the only issue each year would be to find the most reasonable hotel. I know a lot of conferences do it that way, and it seems to work.
Changing the date as well as the location regularly is an attempt to get as many people as possible to be able to attend. I think we just need to be more generally proactive about it. And if it's getting to be an administrative hassle, we can take a break for a year. We're doing it for our fun; we needn't make ourselves sweat tears over it.
This year my schedule's so insane that I can't go during any of the possible weekends. That made me realize how nuts I am for scheduling things the way they are, but it also made me appreciate the efforts that the Buffistas go to to see that people can participate.

But if you knew a year ahead of time it was always, for example, the last weekend in June, wouldn't that help? That way you could plan for it.
