Some of us like the South in the summer. IJS.

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

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

And Central is nicest in summer - fall can be gorgeous, but spring is seriously iffy.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
whatever. Just suggesting rotation of places/times. If it's a set formula or not, doesn't matter to me. For me, it's the people, and can I get off from work or not.

The Providence Biltmore declined to make a bid because they said they are booked with weddings for those months. I figured they would be on the expensive side anyway. So, I am waiting to hear back from one more hotel.

You guys needed a concerted effort from the rest of us to help meet the quota thanks to Wisconsin's staggeringly cheap liquor though, didn't you?

Staggeringly cheap liquor should not be a problem in Providence.

That was not our fault! If we had known earlier, we could have planned accordingly.

The status is NOT quo.
I completely agree that we should plan the F2F the summer before we actually have it, whatever time of year we decide to meet. People have tried to suggest this in the past, but it never seems to happen. I think a discussion about putting a process in place (whether a set F2F weekend or a set timeline for when we pimp, vote, etc.) is crucial, but I wonder if it should happen here. I feel like we may want to take that to B'crxy.
In any case, sj, that looks great so far. Thank you for doing what you've done, and Trudy too for NYC. I know Java is gone to England, but maybe someone could check into the hotels she'd found so far to do an initial pimp since localistas are busy until April?
We do need to decide what we are going to do with the vote results. Is the top date the automatic winner? I included the question about which dates people definitely couldn't come in case our mathy geniuses want to do some analysis to determine the date that the most people could actually attend, if those mathy types are so inclined. Or do we want to narrow down to the top 2-3 and do a final vote, which each city chiming in if there are restrictions for the winning dates?
I just want to know before we get the results on Sunday.

Because books.
I think java told the hotels she contacted to call/email me and/or Sox while she's away, but I'm not sure. And she never told me which hotels she contacted.
