Mal ,'Out Of Gas'
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.
I think it would be fantastic.
What I think would go best is:
Pick date by _____ date.
Give pimpers time to gather info for their particular city and present their bids by ____ date.
Vote by ____ date.
(Of course, it may just be because I just found it to be such a PitA to get good hotel info without a date that I think it should go date first.)
Pick date by _____ date.
Another thought is that we could just hard code the date (3rd weekend in May or 2nd weekend in June sort of thing) so that we already know the date each year and can schedule around it.

I think perhaps a better option would be to hard-code 2 or 3 dates, to give flexibility, and then also hard-code the survey-taking/decision-making process.
Also, the date on which the survey is launched, so that we can settle on the F2F dates and solicit proposals.
Juliana, the queries to the hotels in Philly are done through hotelplanner.com with my name and log in. Are you going to take over?
Also? I only participated as a voter and attender(er) in previous years and had no idea how much of a pain being (only slightly) more involved would be.
So this is a retro-active giant "thank you" to anyone who helped organize these shin digs in prior years. It's a pretty overwhelming and sometimes thankless task.
And I say this as someone whose previous career included event planning for a number of companies, including Oracle.

What She Said!!!
I think all of us who have done our time should drink a toast in wherever we end up this year.

For now, at least. Is that okay? And can you send me the info?
Yup, that's fine. I'll email you with it now.
