I'll be overall point person and work with the local point person.
See, in my fantasy, when I'm kissing you... you're kissing me. It's okay. I can wait.

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!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

One nice thing about not feeling well and staying home to work is that I am wearing pjs, my tiara, and my medal, and no one is looking at me funny.
Well, the cats are, but they don't count, since they can't laugh.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Because the one day I was in NOLA (literally 1 day -- possibly less than 24 hours) we started drinking as soon as we walked out of the hotel, so I don't have a real accurate memory of outdoor-directed climate control.
No, I'm not sure it does, and I was mostly joking, but it does help that if you're starting to get too hot, you just step in somewhere.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Does that make a big difference?
It does, in terms of having somewhere to stop where you're not just in the sun. Also, simple things like walking on the shady side of the street, or wearing lighter fabrics and light colors, and avoiding being in the sun in the middle of the day, can make a big difference.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
I'll happily help with local organization in the Central Texas (Austin/San Antonio primarily) area if that's chosen.
I'll actually be happier to help with a NOLA site, because that's what I'm pulling for personally. I probably would be more useful closer to home, though.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Hee. Hil and I have opposite answers. But yeah, it's not like walking around The Mall, it's like walking around a mall.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I could help with Ann Arbor. Or, well, Detroit, though I have no car so I wouldn't be as helpful. But I would do what I could, and stuff.
Major props to ND for being point man.

So, here's the two big overall dates that I'd like to set. I know they will sound early, but trust me on this, it's really a good idea, I've been working with booking conferences for a few years.
Sept. 1, our city is chosen. This is also when our local point person comes in.
Nov. 1, hotel chosen and ballroom/hosp suite booked.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
When do you want city proposals, ND?
edit: I mean, when should we have the narrow list of possibilities, and when should those possiblities turn in their proposals.
Look at me, I'm all cryptic and stuff.

Let's split the time and say July 15 for the narrowing of cities. We can bat around ideas as far out as mars until then. July 15 we'll narrow it down to the top 3 or 4.
