Cabo San Lucas? t drool (Better yet, fly into San Diego and drive down the length of Baja, camping out overnight... amazing AMAZING drive.)
Do you see any goats around? No, because I sacrificed them.

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!

Ann, that's a ferret.
The question looks like, do we want to just hang out at the F2F, or do we want to do the town together (in subgroups)?
I vote for the latter category, but there are a lot of places with enough town to do for the weekend. And, of course, there's a higher scare-the-natives factor in less destinationy places.
Nashville sounds interesting.

I see the appeal of both. I think that whether we go to a destinationy place or a slounging place will vary from year to year and will depend on what we find that looks appealing.

There are different ways to slounge. Like sitting on the beach and hanging out, with short pleasant excursions into the warm surf. Personally I require water to be above 70 degrees for that, preferably above 75....

Just for yucks, I've been checking out cruise prices. If booked in advance, it appears that a 4 night cruise leaving from New Orleans and going to Cozumel, Mexico, would cost around $450 per person ($485 for those who want to look at water from their room). I imagine that if we do a group thingie, it could be even cheaper. If I'm reading things correctly, the dining is included in the price.
Is this something people would be interested in pursuing, if not for the next F2F, maybe for 2006?

It is. Cruises are pretty fun.

move out and draw fire
I've always wanted to take a cruise!
Sounds like we need a localista get together
We do. Is the DClocalistas mailing list really us? Is everyone on it?

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Boy, did I skip, like, 600 messages.
At Jessica's; we're doing our pasta y fagioli feast tonight, with chocolate decadence and ganache and ice cream for dessert. There will be garlic bread, and salad.
If we're voting midwest cities already, I am firmly in Minneapolis' court. I love that place.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Now I'm really wishing I was in NY this week instead of here, studying. (Though, one of my friends is house-sitting in Silver Spring, so we'll be studying by a pool. But, still studying.)
Minneapolis sounds good. (Yeah, that is like the fifth city I've said sounded good.)

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
If we're looking at smaller places, I wouldn't mind seeing Madison, Wisconsin. I've heard it's pretty.
Not that I'm likely to be around this time next year, of course. Though that's what I said last year too.
