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

SFistas! My friend Stephen the personal chef is doing a pop up restaurant in the bar Truck at 1900 Folsom. He's doing high class French Style bar food. Last I heard, the menu would include:
Pork Rilletes with Walnut Bread, Mustard and Cornichon – Pork braised in its own fat and wine served with crunchy walnut toast points, whole grain mustard and sweet pickles
Boules de Bouef avec Pommes de Terre – Savory beef meatballs in a Port Wine Gravy over Steamed Herbed Potatoes
Crudite et Fromage – Seasonal Vegetables with Romanesco Sauce, Basil Aioli and Garlic Crostini with Local Cheeses
Gratin Dauphinoise with Creme Fraiche Lorraine – Potatoes roasted in cream and garlic topped with a thickened cream, caramelized onions and house cured bacon
Croque Monsiuer – Toasted Ham & Gruyere Cheese Sandwich Topped with a Creamy Bechamel Sauce served with pomme frittes
Burger de Porc: Hamburger of ground pork, ground bacon and herbs served with pomme frittes
cue Homer Simpson drooling noises...
He's a really good chef. He made my birthday dinner the night before the SF F2F. Amazing. I still remember the beef cheeks.
This is why I need to win the lottery. I would totally rent a private jet just for this.
Oh my god, that sounds delicious.
