I definitely won't have time to work on the ballot until the weekend.
Not a problem. I'll get the cities up and listed here and we can hash out the exact wording and layout and such for the ballot.
So, everyone here's the list of cities as I have it, what am I missing?
New Orleans
Toronto
Kansas City/Lawrence
Minneapolis
Nashville
Cleveland
Austin
San Antonio (Did we talk about this one, or am I smoking crack?)
What am I missing. I don't have my cheat sheet in front of me, but I want to get this rolling.
We're telling folks that they can choose two from among all the cities. The two votes will get equal weight and then the 4 cities with the most votes will be looked into in depth with regards to available hotels, costs, etc. etc.
Not to answer for Astarte, but I think she may have been doing Austin/San Antonio instead of
Austin
San Antonio
Cool, so it might be a slash for Austin and San Antonio, we'll wait for Astarte to confirm for us.
Sorry, ND, wasn't trying to pressure, just wondered if I'd missed a memo.
Those are the cities I remember. We could either do two lists of all cities and have someone choose one from the first and a different one from the second, or, if we didn't want people to choose the same city both times, then we could list all possible combinations. I really can't imagine anyone choosing the same city twice if we ask them not to, though.
Fred Pete is also counting the votes by hand, so he can just throw out any duplicates like that.
I think you're right Deena. Though maybe there's something that can me done to prevent a city from being chosen twice (I use the passive voice because I don't know how to do it, and I'm not telling any one they should).
They were slashed in her original post.
Apart from that, that's the list I have.
I have a vague recollection of that being the weekend of commencement in Lawrence, and so it was taken off the table. Am I smoking the bad crack or does someone else remember that?

::takes a huff of Debet's pipe::
No, that's how I remember it too.
Yep - things were going to be booked solid because of the commencement. It's always going to be an issue with a college town that time of year, methinks.
Gotcha, so it's just Kansas City and then we're doing San Antonio/Austin as a single line item for the voting. Are there any cities we have missed?
Denver was brought up and then removed, as was Memphis.
