Okay, so I'm keeping loose data on stuff at the moment. Memphis came up, did we have anyone say they would like to be local point if the city were Memphis? At this point this really has no bearing on the viability of the location, I'm just trying to keep track of all the data points.
Don't worry, we're sure to spot Faith first. She's like this cleavagy slut-bomb walking around 'Ooh, check me out, I'm wicked-cool, I'm five-by-five.'

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!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Jeez, I was just in New Orleans the week of the F2F and it wasn't bad at all. Every shop and bar and restaurant is both air conditioned and has ceiling fans. You walk around in the morning while it's still cool, or you go out at night and stay out late. We took an afternoon nap almost every day - siesta time! It was perfect after 10 cent martinis at lunch.
Also, I've been to New Orleans three times in the last five years for stays of at least a week. No problem with crime. Not once did I even feel like I was in a dicey situation, and I did tour all the major cemetaries. There are areas you don't go, and basic precautions you take but if you're not an idiot it's not a problem.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
I'm still rooting for NO.
But for the record, I already mentioned that I'd have no problem working on Nashville. Memphis, I think, would be kind of a crummy spot for an F2F, but I can help with that too. Though I'm really NO at heart.

Woo hoo! So Raquel, did I hear right? You're pregnant?

Oh, and just so folks know, since I kinda dove in on putting this together, I'm going to coordinate and joke and such about locations, but I'm really pretty neutral on all of them. Basically what I'm saying is I'll be happy wherever the F2F happens and will facilitate it wherever it happens and am going to pretty much not root for any cities in this. So don't interpret my silence on cities as anything but just that, silence.

I feel like that pretty much settles it, for me.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
It's like getting the porn version of the bends.
The bendovers?
I'll do my damnedest to come wherever we end up holding it next year, but my vote goes to NOLA first.
Kate, dollface, this juxtaposition of sentences had me spitting popsicle at the screen.

Hee! I thought about rephrasing, then remembered where I was.
