Right. Piano. Because that's what we used to kill that big demon that one time. No, wait. That was a rocket launcher.

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

The status is NOT quo.

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.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

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.

Because books.

javachik's pimping starts here. Since the Philly hotel bid is just a week old, I'm going to assume it's still valid.

My problem is I'm not sure I can attend anymore. I'm going to NC early in the month to scope it out as a possible place for us to move. We want to be settled before school starts in the fall for the kids, and to do that we have to make some decisions really soon. So ... I hope Philly is still an option for people? It would require someone to step up as point person, though.

By the way, Kristin, thanks very much for prodding the process along like you have.

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

Kristin is correct. For the record, I was just joking.

I was then just saying that I was just joking.

It was not intended as a cruel attack on anyone. I even scrolled back a week and a half to check. Nope, just kiddin' 'round.

But, yeah, let's settle this year before we make any future plans. The suspense is killllling me.

Kristin, the Providence Marriott bid is still good.

Here is the website for the hotel. If anyone has any questions about Providence before voting, please let me know.

ETA: As of right now there are 5 rooms available for Thursday night, 20 for Friday night, 20 for Saturday night, and 10 for Sunday night.
