Hey! The exchange rate is a bit better for us these days. I'd say $250-$280.
ETA: According to the Currency converter on Expedia, it's about $280 USD.
I flew into National, on Air Canada.
Well, then, this is a day I'll feel good to be me.

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!

Okay, so it's looking like we're getting a decent amount of talk here on the cities. I'm thinking of putting an announcement in press that we'll do voting starting tomorrow evening. That means that between now and tomorrow evening we need to work out the exact format and wording on the ballot and then how we are going to use that ballot to decide the city.
It sounds like we could do each of the four cities and then give the option for "Would Attend" "Would Not Attend" and then score from there. We could also have the each voter rank the choices from 1 to 4, or just choose one city or two cities.
If we go with ranking, how do we score that for the final choice?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Right - so don't have any meetings that weekend this time, missy.
Well! I voted "can't go" for that weekend. It's clearly that the Buffistas lack love for meeeee!

(Don't go with ranking. It's a legendary Buffista sore spot. Except with Jon.)

Yeah, I know that ranking can be a trick question around here. I'm simply trying to find the best way for us to pick this city. The easiest one is to only allow each person to vote for one city, most votes wins.
There seems to have been a call for folks who want to say that they may not have a city that's a first choice, but there are certain cities that mean they would not attend, and others that would attend.
I'm in the camp of one vote and use it on the city you like the most.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
I also like the "one vote" deal. Simplest is best, in my book.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I think I'm in favor of one vote, with a survey sort of "which cities would you be able to attend?" question, so that, if the final vote is really close (like, within a few votes), but a lot more people would be able to attend one than the other, we could see that. (I seriously doubt that would happen, but I think it would be nice to be able to see the data.)

It sounds like we could do each of the four cities and then give the option for "Would Attend" "Would Not Attend" and then score from there.
Personally, I'd rather either rank the cities, or just pick one choice among the four. If we're going to be asking "would attend" / "would not attend," I think that should be a pre-vote survey, not the vote itself.

It's a legendary Buffista sore spot. Except with Jon.
Oh, no, it's a sore spot for me too. Just for different reasons. :^P

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
See, I remember last year's vote including a 'will/can not go to this city' option. Am I on the bad crack?
