Reminder:
This is your last chance to vote for F2F 2010! Click here to vote.
Poll will be open for three days until 3/21, Sunday. We only have 26 respondents so far, which concerns me since we had 42 on the previous survey.
Side note: I'm also concerned that adding a third date to the mix may have split the vote. June 26-27 is leading substantially at the moment (the only non-NYC weekend), but the two July dates (if added together) equal the exact same number. I didn't add a question about how many people couldn't attend, but I'm concerned about this situation. Anyone who would like to hash this out, please join us in conversation in F2F.
sj - do you know if Al Forno is still in business, and is it's reputation still as good as it used to be? At least, was it before you moved away?
I've just heard about it for years, but never managed to get there.
I haven't voted on a date, because I can make any of the dates and don't have a strong preference for any of the places, and I don't want to maybe push the vote onto a date that someone can't make it when it doesn't matter to me. But I will be coming to the F2F, wherever/whenever it is.
I'm with Zen. I'm not voting because I can make all three of the dates, so don't want to skew the voting for someone who has a preference.
Huh. Now I'm questioning my survey design. Maybe I should have added a "can't make XX" and a "can make all" category.
Probably the simplest way to get the most information would be "What is your first choice?" "What is your second choice?" and "What is your third choice?" questions. (Or, to allow lots of data fun, have all six possible orders to choose from.)
Frank, Al Forno's is still in business. I haven't been there in a while, but I heard it is still excellent. They don't take reservations, so the wait can be long, but they might make an exception for a larger group. I think I heard the owners have a new restaurant as well.
Yeah, I voted for a July date, but....if I end up coming, either July date is probably just as possible. The June one is right out, though.
The new restaurant is called Tini. It only seats 20, and it is a place that does drinks and small bites. Frank, I should add that if the F2F is not in Providence, I would be happy to meet you at Al Forno's some night for dinner. I have been wanting to take TCG there anyway.
