So, what you're saying is that it's really no problem?
(I have no horse in this race. I highly doubt I'll be able to make it, which sucks but June always presents conflicts.)
We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

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.

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

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I held a conference at Asilomar about three years ago. There was no television at all, and wifi is only available in the lodge. I have no idea if that was already a known variable, but it's an FYI. Unsure if they have changed.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Apparently there are limited phones, too. Judging from the website, things haven't changed much, Allyson. It's very much a bubble outside the world.
I don't know if it's mass-Buffista like.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I go there every year for a conference, and, yes, there are no TVs or phones in the rooms. Or Internet, except in the lodge, as far as I know. But you do get a fireplace.

I don't think I'd be interested until they're wifi fireplaces.

So, we'd have rooms, but we'd just always be in the lodge.

What's the group rate for sleeping in the lobby?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Actually, that makes Asilomar even more attractive to me personally! but probably lets it right out for an F2F.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I am interested in Asilomar at some pont - so get us an idea of rates and stuff - even if not for the F2f , but possibly a small one , javacat
