Are there definitive bids from both cities? If we only have them from Philly, then I think things are kinda settled. We do need to make this a final thing soon though - getting close to the two month mark.
Niska: Mr. Reynolds? You died, Mr. Reynolds. Mal: Seemed like the thing to do.

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.

And I agree that we really need to vote soon. Are we ready? Can the pimps for Philly and Providence please gather together your hotel and city info posted earlier and re-post so we can prepare to vote?

Because books.
Will a bid a month old still be good? (I have no idea how this stuff works, so.)

Amy, you (or whoever is in charge of pimpage) should contact the hotel and verify that the bid is still valid. Let them know that we will be making a final decision within the next week.

I'm Philly, Pix. The Providence bid was sj's, and the link you posted said March 11, which is why I asked.
The Philly bid juliana forwarded to me was from yesterday, so I imagine that's fine for a bit.

Oh sorry, I meant for pimpers in general. SJ, could you look into it?

This was my concern, though I can make either, and actually have a tough vote. Providence is hella convenient, but I can turn Philly into another road trip and see some peeps on the way to or from.

That's what we call a joke.
Really? there are so many other things you might have said. "I know, right?!" "Ha!" "Or how about Alaska in December?"
And the "we" I suspect you assume is the collective Buffistas, not the royal we? What is the point of being nasty to me? What I have EVER done to you?

I'm summarizing what I've inferred from our conversations here.
We need to vote on a F2F city as soon as possible.
The things many of us seem concerned about are making sure that there is a point person once the vote happens (especially for Philly since we've had a number of people helping, but I'm not sure who ultimately will take over hotel reservations and such) and making sure the bids are viable (Providence bid is a month old) before we vote.
We need to resolve this since we are two months away from the weekend picked (June 26-27), and if we don't book soon we may need to cancel.

On a side note, Java Cat, fwiw, I've heard "that's what we call a joke" used as a substitute for "I was just joking" many times before. I think Trudy just meant that she didn't intend those suggestions as serious ones.
Anyway, not wading into it any further than that. Just wanted to say that I don't think it was meant to be nasty.
