I'm just working on clarifying some info that I'm tracking. Do we have anyone actually IN New Orleans? Heather, you are nearby correct? How far away? You've also put yourself up as a point person for NO correct? I know that we've got other folks that know NO and have lived there in the past, but I'm trying to get a count on who we actually have in the cities we're talking about and I'm not clear on NO.

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!

I think -t is, if I recall correctly and/or read the map right.

I'm IN Dallas. My family and friends are IN NO. I will be IN NO on Wednesday to visit said friends and family. Dana is FROM NO (I think), and I know Hill (recently) and ita (not sure when) lived IN NO.

Speaking of which- if Hil, Dana, -t, ita, Hec or JZ (having visited recently) have anything to add or any suggestions - including things you want me to check on this weekend let me know. You can post it here or e-mail me at the profile. You too ND, if there are anymore specifics you'd want while I'm down there let me know.
I'll be offline probably after Wednesday morning, and I'll be kinda spotty after Sunday which is when I plan to head to Louisiana.

Okay, still cathing up and updating stuff. Now looking at my Minneapolis information. I know that Juliana is a local and has volunteered to be point person. Do we have any other people local to Minneapolis?

Heh, not just recently - I've been to New Orleans three times in the last five years, for a week each. So I've got a good bead on Fun Things Buffistas Might Like.
That noted, I am completely open to any of the cities currently in the running. They're all intriguing for one reason or another.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
What I've heard about the hotels in New Orleans is that tourism has suffered so much in the past few years that the hotels are willing to make deals. My mother runs a choral festival in New Orleans, so she's in a position to know.
I'd suggest maybe even looking at the hotels near the convention center. There's a big new Hampton Inn there that's supposed to be nice.
