The reason that June 26-27 was off for New York was that that weekend is unavoidably booked for me. As I am "hosting", I felt it was reasonable to block out the date when I am not able to be present for the actual event, given that there were many other options that were open.
Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

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

Philly doesn't seem to have any closed dates.

Both weekends are open for Providence at the $129 per night rate. The only weekend that I cannot host is June 12th weekend, because I will not be around, and the only weekend that the hotel cannot accommodate us is the weekend of July 4th, which makes sense to me. I am going to call the hotel that has not returned my e-mail today and see what is happening with them.

Another: this one is a near Fairmount Park, a couple of miles from central Philly. But the rates are good, and we were far away from downtown Madison when we stayed there, so maybe we can consider it too.
