I don't think that we should try to do the F2F for Memorial Day weekend. Prices are up for everything, it's harder to book, tourists are everywhere, and some folks may have plans. I would vote the 21st of May, then the 4th of June.

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’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Can we do a Mr. Poll for the dates, and announce it in Press? I know most people who want to attend will be checking the thread, but we are just coming off of a holiday weekend, and peeps may be skipping. Also, auto-tracking the responses seems to be a good thing.
And I vote for any weekend that is not Memorial Day weekend.

I can't explain why, but Mr. Poll always, always, ALWAYS makes me think 'Mr. Donut'!

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
shouldn't it be Mr. Poll and Ms. Donut getting together. I mean, I guess Mr. poll and Mr. donut can , the other is just a classic.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Regardless of what location we decide on, it's almost certain to be a warmer rather than colder location, as most Buffistas prefer the warm. (I know, I'm a freak). I agree with Vortex (heh. typoed "Cortex") we should avoid Memorial Day weekend, but I put in 72 votes for earlier rather than later, to avoid touron season, and because NOLA or any other warmish locale may be a degree or two cooler before the end of May. I'm still thinking Cleveland sounds terrific. How central-ish is it considered? Would it even be in the running for central-continent F2F?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
So, we're slashing Mr. Poll and Mr. Donut? Wouldn't it work better with Mr. Pole and Mr. Donut?

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

I wish Steph were Alan Greenspan, because I'd love to see the WSJ trying to puzzle out what this means for the equity market.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I'd say "central" includes anything between the Rockies and the Appalachians. Which makes Denver and Pittsburgh the biggest border cities.

Yes. The bag limits are high enough, attract too many hunters.

I'd put in a vote for absolutely no earlier than May 14. There will just be too many conflicts with finals and other things then.
