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

DECADE?!?!?
HMOG, you're right.

OK.
Personally, I would love either NM, CO, or TX.
To sum up:
Raq - Albuquerque
Erin - Kansas City
WindSparrow & lcat - Minneapolis
Anne W.- St Louis
Nobody actually volunteered to pimp Denver.
I believe Erin was possibly going to pimp KC. Not that I have a vested interest or anything.
KC would be very cool. Though not having been to any of them, I'll go wherever happily.
Yes, me too. If I can afford it: I'm there.
Since I actually am back to getting paid vacation again, I suspect I will willingly show up whever we decide to park our kiesters.
Yes, I am pimping Kansas City.
Huh, it's November, so I can actually pimp. Well, let me offer dates and prices once I have made some calls, but...prelim pimp.
Kansas City! Smack dab in the middle of the country. We have no sharks. I would be pimping mid-June, after school lets out (but before my stepson is in town, so I could concentrate on orging the F2F.)
It's easy to get cheap flights here. The airport is about 20 minutes north of downtown -- shuttles to downtown or the Plaza cost about $20, and it's a boring, but very non-confusing airport.
I would be pimping a downtown or midtown hotel, as Plaza hotels would be pricier. KC's public transpo is not awesome; however, for getting from downtown to the Plaza or Westport areas, it's not bad in the daytime, and if a couple of people are hopping a cab, it's very cheap.
Downtown boasts the fairly new Crossroads arts district, the new Power and Light bar district. We have the Plaza for shopping and restaurants, the Nelson-Atkins Museum with the new addition, the Jazz Museum, the Negro League Baseball Museum, the Boulevard Beer plant (with tours and tastings), kickass BBQ, great steaks, and lots of restaurants that would suit a diverse range of dietary needs and wants.
I have a house, where early comers could congregate and watch movies and drink and hang on a Thursday. I have a friend who could get me awesome deals on booze.
June is generally pretty decent here -- mid 80s in the daytime, 70's at night.
I will put together a prospectus with links and other more specific info on a Google doc soon, so anyone can look at it.
KC would be art, music, baseball history or a game, excellent food, booze and decent weather. Also shopping. we have some nice vintage stores.
There is also me. I am freakishly organized and an excellent cruise director. I can lay my hands on a couple of DVD players, and also offer a couch or bed or two in a smoking, cat-friendly house for any laid-back Buffistas who might not be able to afford a hotel.
