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?

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

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.

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

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

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.

Wait, both Amy and Javachik are pimping Philly?

Vortex, I think originally Amy and Sox were pimping Philly. They asked for help contacting hotels, so I did that. I also posted links re: Philly. I think we're all pimps working the same block.

I am hesistant about hard coding the dates. Depending upon time of year they could permanently lock out cities in warmer climates which would be unfortunate. It could also permanently lock out people who have consistent conflicts at certain times of year.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
For picking dates, the way that I think we did it last year seemed to work well. Once we narrowed it down to about 4 dates, we had a poll where each person picked their first choice, second choice, and so on, and there was also a "Which dates can you not attend?" question. We gave each date one point for each last place vote, two points for second-to-last, and so on, and then subtracted a point for each person who said they could not attend that date. Most points wins.
