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

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.

So, BEFORE prom costs, that's about $30 a person (taxes on hotels suck) for the hospitality suite, or $20 for a room. Plus whatever prom costs. (Assuming the hospitality is only for two days)

Right - mainly looking at Friday night, Saturday night, and late check out on Sunday. Would be nice to add Thursday if folks are coming in to town early...

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I prefer the option of the larger hospitality space on June 25th.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Do we have enough interest to justify the larger hospitality space?

Trust my rage

I think the hospitality suite sounds nice, but that's also the weekend I can go so I'm not sure I'm not biased.

I'm getting the pig!

The hospitality suite definitely had more seating and counter space. I just don't know if we'll have enough people coming this year to justify the size or cost of it. Or to cover the cost of it.

I already had June 24th and 27th approved to be out of the office. Last week I checked the 17th and 20th, just in case, and the 17th is not possible. Which just means that I wouldn't be able to help shuttle people from the airport to the hotel until after work that day. It's not a huge deal but I figured I should mention it.

I'm one of the people that can only go the first weekend, so of course I'm biased. ;)

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I vote for the hospitality suite.
