Oops. Sorry, Nicole.
Come on. You drop by for a cup of coffee, and the world's not ending? Please.

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!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

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.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
Seconding the apple to apples exchange rate suggestion from La Belle Juliana.

The numbers that John gave us for Toronto were in USD. I'll make an addition to the Minneapolis slug. Basically all of the info for each city is based on one or two hotels, or the one that looks like a good option etc. Should I beef up the disclaimer at the beginning that these are not our final prices, but merely what we've found in our initial searches?

Okay edits were made to the Minneapolis section.

Maybe that would be better. Sorry, in my tired state I read it without comprehending it.

My bad. Please see above re: tired. And, occasionally, deeply oblivious.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
As long as it's mentioned, I don't think you need to beef it up. Also everyone who's been doing the cat herding is doing an amazing job.

Okay, I tweaked the wording on the opening blurb.
