Do we have anyone actually IN New Orleans?
I think -t is, if I recall correctly and/or read the map right.

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!

Has -t volunteered any involvement with the F2F work?

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.

Thanks Heather. Just trying to make sure I've got all the info!

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.

Just popping in to say, I hope that the F2F ends up in NOLA. I can pretty much guarantee (barring work-related stuff- May kicks off the crazy conference season where I work) that we'll be there if it does. Would love to visit Toronto, but until Tom has his green card (which, at the speed of applications being processed, probably won't be for more than a year from now) we can't leave the country. Even to Canada. Which makes me sad. But, let's just blame the INS for that.
