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!

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

Mooommm, Sean is trying to steal all of our panic fun.

I'm getting the pig!
My top two choices are Cleveland and Minneapolis.
Denver would be tough for me because I suffer horribly for about 3 days when I hit altitude. Stupid aclimation to sea level.
I gathered a modicum of information on Denver but didn't post it for exactly the reason Laura mentioned. The possibility of a good number of 'fistas getting altitude sickness would not a fun F2F make. (Besides, who wants an F2F without Laura-n-Brendon?)

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
Just to give you an idea, El Paso? About an 8-10 hour drive from Austin. I think El Paso qualifies as West. It's about midway between me and my folks home in Tucson.
Big HONKIN' state.
Which means my happiness that Deb will be in Texas next March is very tempered. *sigh*

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Ah, but I'm already in Texas, and only a 3 hour drive from you. One of these days Imma have to get back down there. I was thinking this weekend to see sis's thing, but I'm in Shreveport on Sunday and NO on Wednesday, and driving down to Austin tomorrow doesn't sound doable.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Our wings are not tired
Okay, a few items. Now we're getting into a bit of the crazy making stuff. Yes. I expect that people will advocate certain cities. I don't want to set the RFP out until we narrow it down to our top 4 cities, so here's what we should be looking at:
1. City
2. Local Point Person for City
3. Possible hotels in City
4. Possible hotel rates in City
5. Pros and Cons for City
Also, if you are advocating a city, please be good and list both Pros and Cons. I know that we all have favorites, and the fact is I could make Fresno look like a good choice on paper, so let's be nice and upfront about things and list the good points and the bad points.
Let's not worry about tabulating votes until July 1. Discuss, listen, be swayed, change your minds. Don't worry about voting yet.
Thank you for stepping up to tabulate votes Fred Pete!

I didn't claim biggest. (Heather, I keep thinking about that, too. I just had to bail on a trip to Houston because it's right about the time I'm going to close on the house. So no LotR concert for me, and no Dana. *sigh*)
Remember, I grew up in AZ, and I've spent plenty of time in California. I'm always surprised back East by how close things are in reality.
I still haven't lived down the fact that I was consulting in PA for half a year and didn't realize how close my cousin was because her address was in MD.
