Deena, Ginger's in Atlanta (or environs) but has family and has lived (I believe) in Nashville, and offered to take point there, not Austin.

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!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

You know what? I shouldn't rely on my faulty memory, even when it thinks it Knows what it's talking about. Thanks, Bev. Going back to edit.

I have a strong preference for NOLA at this point, though Cleveland and Minneapolis are also attractive. I went to Kansas City for work a few years ago and didn't think much of the city, but I'm willing to accept that a savvy local could turn that around for me.

IIRC, Erin and Gudanov are in KC, with Erin as point.
Also tina is in Lawrence, KS.

And now, this time with 100% more buffistas.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Also tina is in Lawrence, KS.
And Mr. Broom is in Bonner Springs.

Though he prefers to be in Lawrence at any given time. Honestly, in terms of sheer awesomeness, Lawrence would beat KC hands down. It's a much smaller town than KC--only about 60,000 people--but it's full of good bars, good places for music, nifty little shops, and nice parks. Of course, it's a good forty miles from the airport, so it'd be a tad out of the way. Even though I've been here less than two weeks, I'm all about having F2F hotness here. Also, I was not aware other Buffistas lived around here. Rock.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Mr. B, how serious is the suggestion? Because there are shuttle buses between the Kansas City airport and Lawrence. So if Lawrence has decent intra-city public transport, walkability, and disability access (and I'd be surprised if a college town didn't...), it might even be doable.

Heh. laughs the laugh of the Californian at 40 miles being anything other than a negligible distance

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
And how cosmopolitan is it? Because the question of corsets and tiaras, worn en masse to a bowling alley in mid-afternoon, drawing hostility has to be considered.
