'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.
That's a lot of body work. Does she even have a navel anymore? If I lose a bunch of weight by next Prom, I will wear that. How's that for incentive?
Speaking of next Prom, we kinda dropped the next-year's-F2F thread. Anyone want to chat up some hotels?
Well, if we're going with the "complete package" option, then we should A) Decide to do that, and B) Figure out what information we want and when we want it by.
Okay, so we're back to the center next year, right? I had heard talk of Memphis, Texas (if we do it earlier), Minneapolis?
Texas I suspect would definitely need earlier, maybe even Memphis. I remember summers there being pretty damn hot. And very, very humid. I can't believe I used to march back and forth to school there. Ugh.
I've been to Houston in the summer. I'm fine with having F2F there, I'm just not leaving the hotel! Houston is the reason God made air-conditioning.
It's not just Houston.
I plan on pimping St. Louis, but I would absolutely need a few other people to help with organizing if we do it here.
July and August are generally miserable. May/June can be glorious or very sticky. Same with September.
Hey NCistas! Gary and I will be in Raleigh from August 5-9. We'll be attending ReConStruction, but we'd love to meet up with y'all for dinner or such. Profile e-mail is a good way to get in touch with me.
I think I'm a-gonna throw my hat in the ring for KC, but it would have to be May or early June.
Remember, I am the first F2F organizer, so it would be awesomecakes! I could totally get the pretty good hook up on many things, and KC is central to many peeps. It's a great convention town, we have tons of great eateries and bar type places, and I am the queen of party planning. It's not a super-expensive town, either, and we have 18th Street for blues and jazz, the Nelson with the new addition, and the Kemper for art. I know a great little gayish bar that is roomy and boothy (they play host to the local BDSM scene once a month, so people could totally get their corset on.)
Depending on the number of people coming, I even have a house and backyard deck for DIY parties. I can get a shitton of BBQ and other cuisines for the veg oriented.
KC for the casual, fun WIN.
I'd love a F2F in KC.
