Unfortunately, I will miss amyth because I will be in the SF Bay Area. I'm heading up on Jan 6. Performing on Jan. 8 at The Freight and Salvage. Will probably kick around a week before heading up to Harbin Hot Springs (unless roads require snow tires in which case my plans will change). I'd be up for meeting Buffistas. Unlike last time, I'm not trying to squeeze in a lot of research at UC Berkeley or Davis so I have more time to meet folks, if they're up for it. I'm slowly filling my appointment book with lunch, tea, etc. with offline and online folks...
Zoe: What's that, sir? Mal: Freedom, is what. Zoe: No, I meant what's that? Mal: Oh. Yeah. Just step around it. I think something must've been living in here.

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

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Costa Mesa is very close to me, too.

Hey aymth! Mom just reminded me that she and I have plans to go to The Bowers Museum on Wednesday. It's about 20 minutes from Costa Mesa and Mom's kind of excited about the possibility of meeting up with buffistas there. Does that sound like something you'd like to do?

Laga, I posted about this in Natter and put it in the email that I think you are copied in on, but I should have posted it here as well. Sorry for the oversight!
There has been a change in plans. The second half of my friend, T.'s consulting gig was canceled, so we're not going to Costa Mesa after all. We're flying back to Portland Tuesday evening. So we're getting in Sunday night, staying at the Omni downtown, and leaving Tuesday when T. is done with work. A whirlwind trip!
Thank you so much for thinking of me, though! If there's any way to still squeeze in some F2F time, I'd like to, but I understand if it doesn't work out this time, since I'll be there for less than 48 hours.

So, now that we'e past the holidays, where are we on F2F planning? IIRC, St. Louis and KC and maybe Denver are still in the mix? Minneapolis?

Our wings are not tired
Yeah, I'd love to get something on the calendar soon, late spring and early summer is open for me right now but I know that will change quickly.

I think Anne was still planning to do one for St. Louis, and Aimee/lcat for Minneapolis. Anyone I'm forgetting?
I'd like to suggest trying to schedule a vote for next week at the latest, based on whichever cities we do have champions for by that time.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I can pimp the idea of Minneapolis as a site - but I cannot do all of the footwork for organizing a F2F here. Aims, if we work together, can we do this? You had a line on a hotel that would make a good location.

I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.
Windsparrow/Aimee - I spoke with my sister in Minneapolis and she is willing to visit our short list of hotels and report back. She also recommended that we focus the search in Bloomington (close to the airport and Mall of America) and downtown Minneapolis (light rail from the airport and the MoA) since St. Paul doesn't have many mass transit options.
