So should people stop listing things to see? Is that counting against locales?

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!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

I don't know if it's counting against. I'm saying that, in most cases, the "things to see" don't matter to me, but there are some cities that I know have things I want to see and NOLA's one of them and I'd rather do it on my own time.
That's all.

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
Things to see is great.
Eight million things I've GOT to see or I'll be disappointed -- not so much.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
But if you didn't go to that city, you wouldn't be seeing them either- nothing says you can't go back later, just because you go to meet Buffistas this time.
It didn't seem to be an issue with any of the other major cities.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I'm trying to make it to SF for Nilly's visit in the fall, Deb, so my orgy of eyeshadow and wine should be then. And I'm hoping badly that you will make me some lemon bread (since I am Queen of Lemons), and we can drink prosecco outside!

Nothing except my wallet.

But say we had the F2F in Chicago again- You'd still not have the money and not have been to NO.

I'm mostly with Heather, which is why I was asking for clarification.
Sometimes I visit places, sometimes I visit people. If I get to see a cool place out the window while I'm visiting people, it's bonus. If the stuff out the window is extremely cool, though, it never counts against.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
So far, the "to do" lists for NOLA all seem to boil down to "wander around and soak up the atmosphere." Which, speaking just for myself, is something I'd rather do with Buffistas than anyone else.

The status is NOT quo.
I have to agree with Heather on this one. I've always wanted to see NO, and though I know that I would not see everything I want to see at the F2F since that wouldn't be my focus, I still would be glad for the chance to see a tiny piece of it while hanging with the Buffistas.
As I've said before, ultimately it doesn't really matter to me since I'll try to get "there" wherever "there" ends up being, but if I'm going to spend the money either way, I'd just as soon spend it in NOLA.
I likely will go back eventually, but if it takes another five years? At least I can say I got to go once.
