How about this: we have the simple, straight-up vote, and if it turns out to be a remarkably close finish, then we consider a would/would not attend vote to determine the winner.
I hate to break it to you, oh impotent one, but you're not the big bad anymore, you're not even the kind of naughty.

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!

Can someone pull the pricing info out of a threadsuck? I've got the phone ringing off the hook here right now and won't get to it for about an hour. Once we've got the pricing info we can assemble the ballot.

Okay, so here we go, let's see how this looks for a test ballot.
Please choose one of the following cities for F2F 2005. We have done preliminary research in each city and have included brief information in this ballot. The prices listed below are gathered from a variety of sources and are best used as a guideline. In some cases they are from a specific hotel that seems like a good option in others they are an aggregate of information from multiple hotels. Once we choose our cities we will get full bids from as many hotels as possible and choose and book a site. For more information please look at this post in the F2F thread.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Noise, the catering is only an issue with one hotel. I haven't firmed up the other bids yet, but prom will be somewhere between $200-500.
Same with the parking (it's only an issue with one hotel).
You'll probably want to put a note about the Canadian/US rate of exchange in Toronto's dossier, as well.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Looks good to me, ND.
