I put a proposal over in B’crxy to get the ball rolling again for the 2012 F2F. Whee!
Hey! What do you two think you're doing? Fightin' at a time like this. You'll use up all the air!

F2F5: I forget that everyone isn't us
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

Sounds like you got the votes you need, Pix.
Is F2F West Coast this year? Or East Coast?

West Coast. Now we need Lightbulbs to open for the three days of discussion and the official vote.

Cool. But if it's Seattle, I'm totally coming, bringing my husband and turning it into a late honeymoon. We have friends we can crash at in Seattle.
I jump the gun, and the...gun won?

Hee. We did Seattle for the last F2F, so I suspect it won’t be there again. But heck, if someone wants to propose it, that’s cool! I wonder now that we’ve been doing this so many years if we might want to remove the moratorium on suggesting cities we’ve already done.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, I think for sure we need to consider revisiting cities, if for the cost factor if nothing else. Our original cities were cheap because they were airport travel hubs. The more cities we do, the less likely this is to happen, raising the cost for everyone, and also making it less likely we'll have a multitude of localistas.

I forgot we did Seattle. Because I couldn't go. ::sob::
And that's a good point -- we've been doing this for ten years, so it might get harder. I'm all for new cities, though; it's all good.

I"m curious - does Las Vegas count as West Coast or is ocean required?

I think Vegas is definitely West Coast.

Yep. this was my thinking. I’m proposing Pasadena rather than “LA,” but that’s a pretty arbitrary distinction since the hotel you stayed in last time was actually Burbank and a 15 minute drive from Pasadena. But we are a travel hub with four airports within driving/shuttle distance, so I think it might make it easier for people to come. Also, Pasadena is unique and has a ton of food and entertainment options in walking distance from the hotel I’m going to suggest--not to mention walking distance to the metro, which will take you all over LA if you want to avoid a car.

I have no idea if I can go (prob. not with new baby) but we've done LA and Seattle and Las Vegas has both hotel rooms and cheap flights. And is a buffista sort of place.
