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.
Just landed in LA! Email insent to LA-istas. Let's make plans!
Will x-post in Natter.
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?
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.
Pimp posts I can find:

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.
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.
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.
Crossposting from Natter. I`ll be in Anaheim this Fri. through Sun. if LAistas would like to grab a bite sometime. At a convention, so I`m unclear on my schedule and will be sketchy on transportation.
Let me see if my SiL still has the hotel contact.
We might be able to make it down to Anaheim this weekend.
