We've got plenty of time. I'm not planning on a decision before July 15th.
Just tryin' a little spicy talk.

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!

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
That's cool, I just don't want it to be like- ok we need info from NO, where is Heather, oh my god what a flake.
Not that anyone would. I'm just over sensitive this week.

I contacted the Cleveland Visitor's and Convention Bureau to see what help they could give us on average prices, things to do, stuff like that, and they said they'd have some pretty solid hotel pricing for me by next Friday.

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor
And KC is full of museums and cool touristy stuff to do (Negro Baseball League Hall of Fame, Jazz Museum at 18th and Vine, Science Museum at restored Union Station, Nelson Atkins Museum of Art, and a fantastic zoo and hey - more fountains than Rome - seriously). It's also pretty cheap food and hotel wise here.IIRC, Kansas City has the more fountains than any other city in the world. Also, when mentioning the Nelson, one cannot forget to tell people that it has ten-foot shuttlecocks on the lawn. Seriously. Here I'm acting like I've been to the Nelson more than once in my life.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
The Arabia Steamboat Museum in KC is pretty amazing.

That will be good information to have. Don't go too overboard on getting all kinds of pricing on cities. We'll get our four top choices nailed down and then send out all the information to those cities with our RFP and get bids back. Ballpark prices are good at this point.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Jumping in towards the end, so the discussion right now is based around the following cities?
Austin
New Orleans
Nashville
Lawrence
KC
Minneapolis
Toronto
Cleveland
Is this correct?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
ChiKat,
I think Lawrence was going on a line with KC. But apart from that, that's the list of proposed locations.
