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 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.)

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

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

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

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

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?)

Our wings are not tired.

(In case someone's waiting on me, I am no longer involved.)

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?

June 26-27

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.

No prob, we'll just move the F2F to ITALY!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Italy F2F!

We'll have to set up a Skype or suchlike link again to bring Sean and everyone else who can't physically make it to the F2F. That was fun!
