F2F 2: Is there anybody here that hasn't slept together?  

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: New Orleans! May 20-22, 2005!

Our wings are not tired

Bring the PC with wireless and we'll have multiple stations. I'll bring the iBook with iPhoto and make sure I have a CF reader and some other stuff like that for uploading pictures. We'll basically set up a local wireless node in the suite so any wireless network computers can be online from there. I'll also make sure I've got my Powerbook with me, from there I can make DVD's that have slideshows of pictures too.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

The hotel web site doesn't give details, but I did find this:

FREE High-Speed Internet Access in Every Guest Room! And we've also installed Wi-Fi access points in the lobby, restaurant, and meeting rooms.

Thrive to spite them

It's so exciting to see the list! And I'm on it (I keep thinking something will keep me from coming...but no power in the 'verse can stop me).

For the record, I'm staying with Anne W and I need to give someone my contact information...although I don't have a cell phone.

I can add my laptop to the mix, too.

Is there more detailed information about the net access?

yes, there's wireless throughout the hotel, and every room has a high speed connection (bring your own cord, tho) Believe me, we checked on that.

Up with the sun

In fact, would someone like to deal with the reception/food stuff?

Since I have some spare time now (heh) I could do that. What needsto be done?

information libertarian

Java, in mid-May, in the DC area, the lowest nighttime temps might be is around 50. They could be as high as in the 70s. If you are going to the mountains, adjust lower accordingly. I think a poly bag will be fine, though.

I wish I were coming (except for the whole scary humans thing - and anyway, baby, impractical), and so appreciate the work everyone is doing. It looks like it will all be faaabulous.

Keep breathing!

Java, thanks for the list of people planning on coming to the F2F and for all you've done to make this happen! Very exciting.

For the record, I'm a DC-ista, not out of town (unless you count the 'burbs as out of town). I am, however, not sure right now whether I'll make it or not, much as I want to. I may be a last-minute gate crasher, but hopefully I'll see y'all there. If I arrive late on Saturday night to the hotel just to stop in, where shall I look for you? Oh, never mind, I'll just ask at the desk for the noisy room where the people are wearing kilts and tiaras and telling porny jokes...

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I'm planning on coming, but what's the deal for Thursday night? What are the rates at the hotel if we come down on Thursday? A lot of us did this in LA.
