Great. Let us know when you hear.
This here's a recipe for unpleasantness.

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.

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.

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.

Awesome. So, final question before we can vote:
Who is the Philly point person from this point on? If we don't have someone, we will need to eliminate it from the running.

t crickets
I'm really not trying to be a PITA, but how long should we wait for a point person before declaring Philly out of the running? I have a vested interest now because it turns out ND can't bring me with him on the Epic (probably for the best since the ticket to England was stupid expensive), so I should be able to attend the F2F. YAY!

As a reminder, this was the Providence bid. sj posted the hotel website a few days ago as well.

Our wings are not tired.
I'm thinking that if no one has stepped up to host Philly by now, we should just go with Providence.

I agree.
