Java, do they want an exact number or a range?
Yeah, normally reserving a block of rooms means reserving a minimum, not an exact number.
I may be love's bitch, but at least I'm man enough to admit it.

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

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Shucks. Back to the quiet corner for me, as well. Sis and her kids get into town on June 25th. Time to get comfy and wait patiently for pictures of happy, foamy 'fistas mingling in either Philly or Providence.
Boo!

Because books.
You will be able to see The Punk!!
If Philly gets chosen, The Punk might have a Sara to play with, too.

I'm getting the pig!
Sorry, sj! I promise that M and I will get out there to visit you and Dave. This year the big trip is our delayed honeymoon in Seattle but next year is highly possible.
And if the F2F ends up being in Providence this year, I'll have the opportunity to scope out all of the cool things to do there a whole year ahead of time.

Nicole, I am going to hold you to that promise. TCG was just saying that it has been nearly 5 years since we were in Denver!

Our wings are not tired.
Sorry, can clarify, when asking for bids, was saying minimum 20 rooms. Don't know if we use 20 (never saw numbers for last year) since so many bunk up. Need to know minimum for finalizing.
Need to also go get on plane now. See ya on the other side. (If I don't kill myself with an icepick to the ear during the flight. Probably a good thing they ban metal on these flights.)

So we will just go with the winner, whatever it may be, and hopefully remember this lesson for next year.
As if we won't rehash the entire thing again next year, even if we do remember :)

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Ah well, another F2F I can't attend. I'm helping run a filk con that weekend.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Is it too late to chime in with a vote for Providence? Because I love Providence. And, err, live 45 minutes from it. Which means there are good odds I'll actually show up. Not that I'm adverse to Philadelphia. I had very nice vegan soul food there. But Providence has affordable sushi that the Californians in the group will actually not turn up their noses at. IJS.
Also, many awesome bars. I know what you people want.

We might actually be able to swing by Providence if it's June 26-27 - we're planning to be on Cape Cod the week before that. It would be my first F2F! With small cute people! But y'all better decide soon since I am tracking plane tickets an need to buy!
