hmm, isn't it interesting that Juliana only linked to her hometown and the party favorite? a bit biased, methinks . . . . :)
Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

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!

As for the Ballot, let's make it vote for two cities. We'll apply equal weight to the each vote and the city with the most votes is the one that will take the gold ring. Does that sound like a good plan to everyone?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Hmppph. :) Perhaps a bit busy when the other two were putting up their info? ;)
(I actually did feel bad when I realized I hadn't bookmarked anything else....)

So as of now we have good information on both Mpls and NO. Mpls seems to be just a bit of a price leader at the moment.
KC has the lowest prices we've seen so far, but we are somewhat without a local point person at the moment.
John Sweden is working on getting us the Toronto information.

JohnSweden said that there were problems with the Toronto Tourism site, but they had promised the info to him ASAP....

I'm all for ranking choices, but we know how well that plays here.
I do think we should ask people to indicate, for each city, if they
a) almost definitely would attend
b) might attend
c) probably would not attend
d) almost definitely would not attend
If a city has a plurality of the vote, but a high negative score, and another city is a close second but with a much lower negative, we should maybe consider the second place choice.

The next question then, has anyone done some basic checking on airfares in and out of all these cities? The cost of travel usually comes up as an issue so we should talk a bit about it before we roll into the final voting.

Now tagless for your comfort.
A question--experience has taught me that Minneapolis is extremely expensive to fly into--is anyone checking that info? (Even though I know it varies a lot, we can look at averages.) That would definitely affect my decision.

Okay, I just ran some quick dates and flights through Travelocity and here's what I came up with.
I used the travel dates on 5/18 and 5/25 since those are when I'm planning to travel.
LAX
to Mpls $257
to KC $172
to NO $234
to Toronto $260
JFK
to Mpls $245
to KC $247
to NO $192
to Toronto $245
These are the the cheapest fares, but rather the most common fares that Travelocity pulled up.
