The one at St. Edwards- I know it's a girl's name but I keep wanting to call it Marjorie Lyons- cause that's what the one back home is called.
River: I know you have questions. Mal: That would be why I just asked them.

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!

For the record, the only con from my stay in Minneapolis 7 years ago was that the bars closed at 1 am. I don't know if that's changed, but it did make partying until the wee hours a bit problematic. (Not sure if blue laws would affect the cash bar at a prom though...) But despite its otherwise sterling reputation I'd selfishly prefer the f2f to be elsewhere as I can feasibly drive to all central cities except those in Minnesota.
Denver is the only location I'd boycott - it takes several days to acclimate to the lower pressure, and I'd really prefer not to use all my energy up on breathing rather than running around with the Buffistas.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
Hmmmm, just through this weekend. I'll have to call my theater-going friends and see if they're up for a show this weekend.
Thanks.

Ah Matt, come away with me to NO- where we will go out for a beer at 4am, because we feel like it.

I promise you'll laugh your ass off. And tell her I said hi.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Minnesota blue laws have changed in most towns to 2 a.m., including Minneapolis. (St. Paul still rolls up its sidewalks at 8, leaving the bars open until 1.) If the prom can be held in the hotel, I think it is at the hotel's discretion. However, most hotels choose to observe the 2 a.m. close.

Our wings are not tired
NO is very cool. I was there for a convention a few years ago and then big issue was transportation. It felt like a city where cabs were the way to get around. I did a lot of walking long distances and paying for cabs while I was there. Public transit didn't cut it.

I'm getting the pig!
or a visit to the drive-through safari park or the tiger habitat.
Eeeeeeee!!! bouncebouncebounce
Deena - if the F2F isn't held in Cleveland, know that I'll be coming to stay with you so we can spend a day at the safari park and the tiger habitat!
SOON!

I did a lot of walking long distances and paying for cabs while I was there. Public transit didn't cut it.
They actually have three street car lines now: St. Charles (very convenient for going out to the Garden District, Tulane/Riverbend and the Zoo), Canal Street (just opened, but good for North/South) and the short one along the river (good for getting to the Arts Warehouse district). If you're mostly in the Quarter/Marigny/Garden District you can get around well with walking/cabs/Public Transit.

We could charter a train for a wine tasting; and/or a boat for a tour of the river.
Wow, that sounds like so much fun!
We could hold the prom in the hotel, on a yacht, at the botanical gardens.
Ok, now I really want to dress up in something amazing and floating and dance among the flowers.
hairy armadillos What?! That's bizarre.
We could take a tour of the cemetary where Garfield was buried I know you don't mean the cat, but...how hilarious would a Garfield mausoleum be? (I guess it would have to be a MOUSEoleum...)
Visit Sephora or tour a chocolate factory
God, my perfect day: ODing on makeup, choolate and wine.
