Though I was not joking about people presenting unified time/place bids. That way we could better adjust to regional weather conditions.
I already know what I'm gonna call her. Got a name all picked out...

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

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

The status is NOT quo.
Trudy, I think that's a fabulous idea. Obviously we need to think about it for next year, but I think it's the way to go.
So...this year? Bueller?

The thing that made me think of it is The Hotel Chelsea.
A friend of mine just had a birthday party there and her more than reasonably sized suite was, brace yourself, TWO HUNDRED BUCKS A NIGHT. Before that, I'd tended to think of "off seasons" in terms of, you know weather or beaches or resorts... but there are probably other places on the earth that have a couple of weeks here and there where they have their own lulls that we could take advantage of -- with a time/place unified bid (and a good-sized lead-time) we could literally call some place awesome and say "what is your cheapest week all year?" and vote between those.
(Naturally it also made me fantasize of Buffistas At The Chelsea some day (we missed it this year). We could run amok amidst all the art and history and our weird ly differnent rooms. And as long as no one actively overdosed we could have our prom in our suite, bring in booze, bring in food... they're not going to care.)

Isn't overdosing at the Chelsea kind of a tradition?

You're right, we could probably go ahead and od.

For reals, though, we need to vote this weekend. The hotel options don't seem crucially different, so if we can pick a city we can pick a place pretty easy. (Or do it both at once. Mabye Philly and Providence people could put up what they think is the best option and then we could just go with one?)

not your mom's socks.
I'll link back to all the Philly pimpage today, but I don't feel comfortable pushing a place for others when I can't make it to suffer the conseqences myself. So I'll link to things, hopefully helpfully.

Sox, I think they just need final hotel info, not links to the pimpage that I did. I was under the impression that Juliana was going to pursue that?

Well. I'm a little unhappy to say that, once again, I will not be able to attend the F2F and see my beloved peeps. I will be unable to attend because I will BE IN ITALY on those dates.
