It's been decades since I've been to B'more, not counting driving past it on the way to somewhere else. I'd go for that.
We usually do June or July, so our teachers can come, right?

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

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

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I'd like to make the pitch for Bethlehem PA. It's conveniently located near the Lehigh Valley International airport and home of the beautiful Hotel Bethlehem. For history buffs there are scores of Moravian community sites dating back to the mid 1700s. If you're into nature you'd be near several gorgeous state parks and not far from the Appalaichain trail. It's a college town so plenty of nightlife and if art is your scene the Bethlehem steel mill has been converted into a unique arts centre. Bethlehem PA: something for everyone!

I would be strongly in favor of a mid-Atlantic F2F on the extremely selfish basis that I would be able to drive there.

That's what I'm thinking too - if I can drive I can maybe attend, but flights are out until the dentist stops shaking me down for all my spare cash.

East coast is within being drivable for me, but depending on airfare prices, it could actually be cheaper to fly with gas prices as high as they are. So much hinges on the airport/city you're flying into.

I like the sound of Baltimore, and it seems like it could be pretty accessible for a lot of folks.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Well, if there's a way in heaven or hell, erika will be there!
There's a slightly larger than zero chance I might could attend this year, but that's all. Cannot commit.

I would totally go to Baltimore, but I have about 0 percent chance, because I'm totally booked this year all the way from the last week of May through August.
