And though there's drawback to these weekends, we should still give some consideration to the weekends of April 30th and June 4th.
Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

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!

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Assuming I can make next year''s F2F, the only real anything resembling a limitation on me timewise is that Memorial Day weekend is always BayCon. And I suspect I'm going to be invited back, since this year went well.
Any other time is OK.

Any weekend is good with me, as long as I know what it is before November.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Weekend of the 21st, because that's when finals are over.
Edit: PS, did we decide on a place? Because I skipped well over a hundred posts, so.

Our wings are not tired
No, we have not decided on a place, that's still a couple of months away, we're narrowing the field on places on July 15th.
The two dates I posted are a starting point. Those are the ones that line up most closely with what we've done in the past. Pushing much earlier than that means that our student/teaching Buffistas are still in classes.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
No decision on place yet. We don't have to have that firmed up just yet. We're still in the brainstorming phase.
But as ND mentioned, nailing down dates, inasmuch as we can, is beneficial when opening discussion up with the hotels at any location.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

June 4th could be good. We'll be clear for many teacher/student types and being later may open it up to some new people.

The downside being that by June 4th, tourist season will be in full swing, possibly making booking more difficult.

If we do a move out of May, I agree with Trudy, June 4th would be better than April 30th.
It does push us into the summer travel season though. More folks out there on vacation once we hit June.

move out and draw fire
Although May Day seems appropriate somehow...
