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.
Maybe I've always been here.

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!

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

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

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.

I can't even.
I'm trying to find out the dates for the next year's version of the work conference that tried to screw me up for this year's F2F, but I guess I could always fly in (or drive to Cleveland!) on the Saturday morning. That conference would end either on the 20th or the 27th usually. My mememe preference would be to avoid that weekend (and I'll know shortly which one it is), but I'm good for any of the ones around it.

I'm just catching up and I wanted to say that I'm planning to see Nilly, probably on the West Coast leg. When the time comes, I'd appreciate a corner or suggestions for a convenient hotel, because I want to avoid renting a car.
I can give you many reasons why Atlanta would be a great place for the F2F, but it's definitely east coast. Atlanta in '07!

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

You think so? We seem to have a lot of dislikers of le heat.

It's not the heat, it's the stumidity. Dude, put me down for le dislike. Give me sunny, low 70s, light breeze and I'll be your pal 4evah1. Funny, Toronto in late May-early June often has those conditions. Coincidence? Hmm.
