Gwen: Demon, OK? The whole nine—cloven feet and horns and teeth. He wasn't wearing lamé though. Lorne: Yeah, the evil ones can't pull it off. It gets camp.

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.

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?

Please do. I miss you.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

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.

The status is NOT quo.

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.

OK, so the final proposal looked like this:

October will be our official pimp-n-post phase for the coming year's F2F. During each October, 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 November, we will vote on the proposed location/date combo. If the pimp-er 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.

Since we have already missed this deadline for the 2011 F2F, we will do pimpage in November and vote at the beginning of December this year.

-----

We didn't get enough votes to make quorum (39 yay and 0 nay, but we need at least 42 votes), so I'm hoping we can BS-consense over here to just use November this year. I'll re-propose in six months if someone pokes and reminds me to do so.

I am going to pimp KC, since I'm not going to be planning a spring wedding party. I already warned D.

So I am concensing, and uh, pre-pimping? (Since I said I would pimp KC, I imagine I should get a job offer that will require me to be be out of the country all spring and summer tomorrow. If so, ok.)

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I'm not here to pimp but to support the commencement of the pimpage process.
