But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

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

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.

I will email her to follow up.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

People have tried to suggest this in the past, but it never seems to happen.

Procrastination, thy name is Buffista, it seems.

I can email her, Kristin! I just didn't know if she was checking email while she was away.

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

I think that last year we waited for the results to see if there was a clear winner, and when there wasn't, I ran the numbers through a Borda count and it came up with two or three options almost tied, so we voted on those.

(I don't remember how the ballot is set up this year, but last year there was a "Which is your first choice?" "Which is your second choice?" and so on, with each choice listed under each question, and Borda count means that, with four options, each first choice vote counts for four points, each second choice for three, and so on, and the one with the most points wins. We also had a question about which dates people couldn't make it, and subtracted points for each of those.)

I can look at the numbers and see what they show once they're in, but I think that, in the past, what's worked best is that, if there's one option that's well ahead of the rest, we go with that, but if there are several options that look like they have pretty close to the same number of votes, we have a runoff.

Works for me, Hil. This survey asks for the top three choices and then asks which dates people couldn't come (that question was unlimited).

Kristin, can you tell who voted? If so, did I vote on final dates?

Jury duty has me questioning everything.

ION, we did not finish deliberating today. Le sigh.

If Denver is considered mid, I'm willing to take what we learn here and start pimping after this F2F. (Nicole, Stephanie - wanna help?)

Kristin, can you tell who voted?

Nope. It's all completely anonymous. Sorry!
