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?)
F2F5: I forget that everyone isn't us
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.
(In case someone's waiting on me, I am no longer involved.)
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!
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!
What with the new job, I will most likely *not* be able to attend f2f. Sad, as last year was my first, and fell instantly in love. And if Philly is the city, would love to visit that burg.
Is next year the west coast? Because, despite the awfulness of the car breakdown, Hec is almost making me think about pitching Bakersfield for 2011--huge old-for-California hotel, smack in the middle of the state and probably desperate for big groups and willing to bargain; some of the prettiest bartenders he'd ever seen (who weren't juliana, anyway); and awesome thrifting opportunities. Wikipedia adds that it has an Olympic sized ice skating rink and a ton of excellent Basque restaurants.
I'm so more than half tempted.
I mean, I need something to think about since this year is clearly not going to happen for us, unless some other localista wants to smuggle one of us inside hir luggage.
Next year is central. Last year was West Coast, in Seattle.
