If I go to NOLA for the F2F I feel like I will have to choose between hangin' with the 'istas or seeing the city. Since the reason I would go to the F2F in NOLA is the F2F...I would not be seeing the city.
I don't think it's an either/or proposition. Seeing Buffistas will be immeasurably enhanced by New Orleans. They will complement each other beautifully. There will be many incredible meals had in the city
with
Buffistas. Buffistas made excursions in every city we've gone to - same with NO. It will be
more
fun to share New Orleans with Buffista-ness. Prom is one night where the focus will shift, but folks can go out before that for dinner like we always have. And since New Orleans stays open so late, folks could easily go out very late into the night after Prom if they chose.
All the things Buffistas like to do? Ever so much more so fun in New Orleans.
He's not asking for NOLA to be taken out, he is stating a personal preference. That's all.
Perhaps it's the fact that he was stating it again, and again, and yet again in a short space of time that made me mistake it for a position argument rather than a simple notation of personal preference.
That may have been my fault since I was trying to convince him it would be otherwise.

And perhaps that's because I kept getting "But..but...but..." responses that were addressed to me but not addressing my point.

He was answering questions when people asked why.
Hmm. This might be the opportune time to kick off the "Toronto in '05: We'll bore your asses so much you'll cling to each other like koalas!" campaign.
It might not be strictly true, but y'know, some corner of the vote is better than no corner.
Heh. JS, if all goes well, I'll be there in October for Bouchercon....
I was trying to address your point. I may have been wrong or it may not have changed your mind.
BWAH!
wants to cling to Buffistas like koalas
We'll bore your asses so much you'll cling to each other like koalas!" campaign.
You're aware that having a koala clinging to you is likely to be accompanied by an inordinate amount of grunting, scratching and peeing, right?
