FUCK CANCER.

Adding a hearty FUCK CANCER to the chorus.

Also, FUCK HEART DISEASE (I just found out my nephew, who has had a pacemaker since he was around 19, may need a new heart).

Fuck cancer. Fuck heart disease. Intelligent design, my ass.

Just cancelled my S.F. hotel reservation.

Just not going to happen.

NY folks, I will be in the city from Monday midday on the 27th through evening on the 30th. The 30th should be totally free (up until my 8 pm flight). 27th is also pretty open. It's likely that the evening of the 29th will be free as well, but not for sure.

Just cancelled my S.F. hotel reservation.

Boo!

I really want to make it happen another time, but right now just not possible. Maybe sometime in the spring?

Maybe sometime in the spring?

Please do. I miss you.

You still need a place to stay, Brenda?

No, I can't stay over extra days after all. I'll be at the Intercontinental Times Square.

Hello all--in case you don't frequent B'craxy, I just posted the following official-type proposal based on the conversations we had a few months ago.

-----

We've talked about this on and off in F2F but never taken definitive action, so I've decided to be action-y. We've had a lot of vintage Buffista issues with procrastination and cat-herding over the years that sometimes have resulted in the need for last minute decisions about venues/dates for F2F. This has meant fewer people have been able to attend either because of prior commitments or expensive last-minute travel. October is delurking month, so I'd like to propose that November be F2F Pimpage month. I'd be happy to adjust the details, but this what I vaguely remember talking about in thread a few months back:

Proposal:

• November will be pimp-n-post phase for the coming year's F2F. During each November, people may propose a location in the appropriate region of the country based on our normal rotation, pimp its fine qualities, research possible venues for hotel rooms/prom (preferably the same venue for both or within walking distance), and suggest up to two possible dates in spring/summer for our official annual F2F. The date(s) for each location are completely up to the pimp-er's discretion.
• At the beginning of December, we will vote on the proposed location/date combo. If the pimper offered more than one possible date, we will hold a second vote to pick a final date for the winner. Once the date and venue has been set, the pimp-er will book the hotel so we can begin the process of raising the necessary money and making necessary investments in tickets, corsets, and sparkly tiaras.

I think that's the gist of what we'd talked about. It's a bit rough, but it's a start. If you're interested, please head over to the thread and offer thoughts/seconds etc.
