ND- if you still need it, I have Maria's number. Hop on AIM or post here, and I'll email it to you.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

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!

I really really want New Orleans for several reasons. First and most selfishly, flights out of Dallas are horribly 'spensive. Second it's been batted around as a place for 2 years. Third, it was mentioned that since last time it was midwest, it was northern midwest, we might try southern. I've always been hoping it would be somewhere close enough for me to go.
-signed,
Will make it to 4th F2F in NO.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Air routes are an issue. Which does argue for at least Minneapolis and Cincinnati, which have hubs (in the lower-case sense) for major airlines.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Don't forget Detroit.

I thought most of the Michiganistas wanted to....
Though you're correct. There's also Kansas City, Chicago, Memphis, Dallas, Houston. Atlanta and Denver, if you want to push the meaning of "Midwest."

Ah, but only beautiful Cincinnati meets Aimee's criterion of "very little to do."

I grew up in a town that meets that criterion. Not much access by air, though.

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

What about Austin? Someone more familiar with it than me should correct me if I'm wrong, but my impression is that it's a great place, hot but not humid (and thus not like Satan's armpit, so the late May timing wouldn't be a problem), with a manageable number of city-based peri-F2F activities. Also in the south, which is the part of the country to which we haven't been yet.

Hub or not Dallas is just expensive to fly in and out of. It would have actually been cheaper for me to go back to Louisiana, and fly from there with a stopover in Dallas than to fly straight out of Dallas.
