100-plus degrees + corsetry = does not sound like the best plan ever to me.
edited to dorkily, dorkily correct my fake math.
Don't kill anyone if you don't have to. We're here to make a deal.

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

Ann, that's a ferret.
Humidity does matter. But it only matters so much. Once you get over 100, you're sunk.
New Orleans may not be the best example. Because those 95 degree temps were probably accompanied by 95 percent humidity. There's no way to deal with that short of staying indoors.
Drinking lots of water helps deal with drier heat. Or have I mentioned getting heat stroke during our last vacation?

So, um, where does Denver fall in the West/Central/East continum? Not that I'm ready to plot anything, but just looking ahead....

It's closer to the Pacific than the Atlantic. I think it qualifies as west coast. After all, we held the east coast F2F in Atlanta, which isn't exactly Atlantic Ocean beach front property.

I will be happy to point person anything that's vaguely in the southwest. I just squired a band from east of Gallup to west of the Grand Canyon, so I'm comfortable with pretty much every major area in this region. If you're looking for pure natural beauty you should also consider Utah.
For summer trips you may want to consider higher elevation places like Flagstaff or, of course, my house. Heh. Only mostly kidding, as there are vacation rental houses you can get here. Nonetheless, I agree that rural locations are probably best for a secondary F2F, which I would also do whatever I could to help out with.
However, I fall in with the teachers' schedules, so the late May that we tend to do is the absolute worst time for me.

Forgot to make my joke:
And, of course, if you don't make that left turn, who knows where you'll end up.
Well, East Coasters that don't turn left at Albuquerque will go to my former house. In about three hours.

DC was pretty brutal and it wasn't particularly humid that weekend.

I remember sweating quite a bit in both of those cities.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I, personally, wilt like a motherfucking flower in heat. As a rule. The exception seems to be Vegas, but Vegas is its own space-time continuum, and is not subject to our rules. Also, they air-condition the streets.

I have the same deal with Vegas. I have a really odd affection for that city.
