Oh sorry, I meant for pimpers in general. SJ, could you look into it?
Wesley: I stabbed you. I should apologize for that. But I'm honestly not sure how. I think it'll just be awkward. Gunn: Good call. Wesley: Okay.

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

Will a bid a month old still be good?
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.

I'm sorry. I was delaying posting because I was hoping to add a second hotel bid to my pimping, but I just heard back from the last hotel that they will be unable to work with us. This is the hotel bid we do have for Providence: here
And here is my city pimpage.
Pix, what else do you need from me.

That's it as long as you've verified from the hotel that the bid is still valid...?

Hey. New board.
I'll be voting for Philly because I can't really afford a hotel night this summer, but can afford the bus into Philly on Saturday or Sunday, and could probably even catch a late one after Prom, given some research. Providence is harder, though still potentially possible.

I have e-mailed to verify, but I am waiting to hear back.

Great. Let us know when you hear.
