Whee! I just made reservations to arrive in Chicago on 3/16 and depart 3/18. Spending this anniversary at the Swissôtel. Chose that one because DH has had good experiences with them in Quito a couple of times. We had a great visit with them with the boys a while back. The coolest thing about the room we had was the quantity of books in a wide variety of languages. The rate is only $140 a night incl tax, which I think is pretty good. I know it is 6 weeks away, but I have been working the long hours and seriously need a break. (so overworked I am 950 posts behind in Bitches!)

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

I do miss you! Most threads I can skip to recent without pain, but I have to at least skim Bitches.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Spending this anniversary at the Swissôtel.
I went to a business conference at that hotel in Chicago a few years ago. It was wonderful.

Prom! Right. Going to hotel on Saturday to get info about our potential dates. Sorry! Got caught up in a lot of work and personal stress.

It's in Pasadena this year, isn't it?

Yep, which is why I need to actually book the hotel.

In case anyone besides me is trying to remember what the last thing was on the dates, here it is:
The results are in! We have unanimously voted for Pasadena, and of the 38 people who voted, 22 say they are likely or very likely to attend (not counting significant others). We will have a run off vote between two weekends in June (June 16-17 or 23-24) once I get prices from the hotel. Woot! F2F 2012!

Any northern Michigan-istas* around? I'll be vacationing near Traverse City this August, between the 3rd and the 10th. It would be great to meet up, eat some cherry pie, visit a winery, etc. I'll be doing family stuff over the weekend, but I'm pretty free after that.
*Northern lower peninsula MI, that is. No idea why the generally accepted terminology totally ignores the UP, but there it is.
