You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

So, just to prod this thread; are we waiting a final negotiation with the Monaco about room prices or should we start the ball rolling on picking the hotel?*

We're about 10 days away from being only 2 months out from the event so it's time to finalize.

( *Hint: Monaco )

Monaco sounded good to me.

I have no idea about airline prices anymore. Is $308 a good fare from the east coast? I mean, it's clearly more about whether or not I can afford it, which I'm debating, but I just wonder if I should wait to see if fares go down. Anyone?

I think that's a pretty good fare. I mean, I'd be psyched if I could get that fare to fly to Boston for Christmas.

OK, thanks for the perspective. Now I just need to do some thinking.

Is that including taxes, or non-stop (or at least, easy/nice stops, if that's easier)? It's probably a decent fare, if it includes taxes.

You might want to take a look at Farecast--it predicts airfares. (for example, Farecast is saying that for a trip on Fri-Sun of the F2F weekend, currently it costs $302 to fly BWI-SEA, but if you'd booked it a few days ago it would've been $245, so best to wait a few days because it will likely go back down)

Ooh, thanks, meara. Yeah, that includes taxes and is from BWI. I will check out that site.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I found out today I might not have a job come Monday. With the number of people being let go my chances aren't awful but I'ma hold off making f2f plans until I know for sure.

Newbie f2f question. I'll be filing out the time off request, and wondering when best to arrive/depart to enjoy the festivities? 3 days are listed. Is first/last trickle in/out of folks? Or are all 3 days filled with folks? Or is this a totally nutri question whose answer is "depends"?
