Buffistas

Sometimes when I'm sitting in class... You know, I'm not thinking about class, 'cause that would never happen. I think about kissing you. And it's like everything stops. It's like, it's like freeze frame. Willow kissage.

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

Also, at the moment we only have something like 14 people who have said they can come

I was thinking about coming, but I'm going to be in California for week between those two weekends, and I don't know exactly how long my boss is going to have me out there.

I think bowling requires Big Lebowski outfits.

Just bumping y'all. If you meant to vote, but haven't yet - please go to Beep Me and vote.

Last check of the results had the two dates tied...so if there is one weekend, you can't make it, we really need your input.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Chicago-istas, I will be in the neighborhood Wednesday 3/30 through Saturday 4/2. Friday night is free. I'd love to see however many of you I can.

In Northbrook, and I'll have a car. Though Friday night's hotel is out of my pocket, so I may try and find somewhere else to stay. My flight leaves O'Hare at 4:23 Saturday afternoon.

Cool. If you decide to come toward downtown or basically along the lake, I can suggest some places (food and/or hotel). If you stay somewhere further out, I'll defer to someone else for suggestions and come to you.

I'm getting the pig!

Maria, I've had good luck on Priceline for negotiating cheap (but still very nice) hotel rooms in Chicago.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I'd love to see you! That's my spring break week but I'm staying in town.

Decision time folks...

First, thanks for those who voted in the poll. We are tied between the dates. 14 people who can attend either date, and 4 people each who can attend one weekend and not the other. So 18 people either weekend.

As a tie breaker, another variable is our gathering space. We have two choices...

Weekend of June 18th
Junior Suite
King room with a balcony. Room is a bit larger than the usual room. We could probably request additional chairs and a microwave. There is also an entry area with an upholstered bench/luggage bench.
$150/night

Weekend of June 25th
Hospitality Suite
Large space with a dining table/chairs, seating area, couches, media center, kitchenette with microwave, 1/2 bath, adjoins to 2 guest rooms. The seating layout can be adjusted prior to our arrival to fit our needs.
$250/night

Should I set up a poll or should we do a bs consensus here? I'd like, if possible, to get the dates set before I head off to DC this evening.

Oh, and a reminder that the "hospitality suite" costs are combined with the prom costs and are covered by donations from the buffista community.
