'Safe'
We open it up, we talks the talk, we votes, we shuts it down. This thread is to free up Bureaucracy for daily details as we hammer out the Big Issues towards a vote. Open only when a proposal has been made and seconded according to Buffista policy (Which we voted on!). If this thread is closed, hie thee to Bureaucracy instead!
Well it isn’t as big as Powells, but Vromans is pretty cool too! Largest and oldest independent bookstore in SoCal, and yep, it’s in Pasadena! [link] It has a pretty amazing philanthropic history, including:
During World War II, Vroman’s donated and delivered books to Japanese Americans interned at nearby camps, returning on several occasions despite being fired upon by camp guards.
Sorry. Back on topic. Ahem.
I vote yes
Being the Buffista procrastinator that I am, it took me a while to wander over and give my input.
Yes, IAW this proposal.
Who would be willing to count votes?
I will.
Thanks, Jesse. ita -- Can you point votes@... to Jesse mail?
Voting will start on Thursday and end on Sunday. That's Oct. 16, so you might want to adjust the October 15 start date for the 2012 pimpage.
Oh, whoops. Sure. I’ll just shift to Oct 20-Nov 20. Hold on...
Proposal:
To give people time to plan ahead and get the best rates on traveling, October will be our official persuade-n-post phase for the coming year's F2F. During each October, people may propose a location in the appropriate region of the country based on our normal rotation, sell us its fine qualities, research possible venues for hotel rooms/prom (preferably the same venue for both or within walking distance), and suggest up to two possible dates in spring/summer for our official annual F2F. The date(s) for each location are completely up to the proposer’s discretion.
At the beginning of November, we will vote on the proposed location/date combo. If the proposer offered more than one possible date, we will hold a second vote to pick a final date for the winner. Once the date and venue has been set, the proposer/organizer will book the hotel so we can begin the process of raising the necessary money and making necessary investments in tickets, corsets, and sparkly tiaras.
Since we have already missed this deadline for the 2012 F2F, this year we will propose locations from October 20th-November 20th and vote right after that to avoid conflicts with holidays and finals.
