I thought this was an exception. Six months from when we closed it would be much too late to start the discussion and still have time to plan.
eta: or what Steph said.
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

And I was just about to come back in here and post what Perkins said.
There's NO WAY to plan a May F2F if we can't open the thread until April.

The vote said, "We should close the F2F Planning thread until the next F2F goes into being planned and then reopen it to posts at that time."
If we're planning the next "national" F2F then there's no need to vote; we can just reopen it. If we're not, then... y'know... folks shouldn't have voted to close it.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
10. We should close the F2F Planning thread until the next F2F goes into being planned and then reopen it to posts at that time.
YES: 73 *
NO: 26
NO PREFERENCE: 23
If people are ready to start planning, it should open.

We are. Hence Perkins making the request.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I've just opened it.

Ann, that's a ferret.
So when do we start planning? I have no objection to reopening the thread if we start planning now -- and it's never too early to start discussing where.
The F2F thread didn't even hit post 1000 until January, and 1500 until March.
(It's now at 7378.)

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
We started planning both previous F2Fs the previous October, hence it's time to reopen. (edit - and I'm wrong. We started planning the last F2F in September.)

Also, last year, we didn't have the hotel set in place until way late in the process. It'd be nice to avoid that this time around.

We started location scouting around this time last year, because location arrangements were made in early spring, IIRC.
