Frucon 7 date.

Ok, here is the perennial question about the Frucon date. Assuming there IS a Frucon 7 (do you really want a frucon 7?) ;) Would it be more important to have it on the traditional Presidents day weekend (Feb 13-16) or would it be more important to have it on the following weekend because EFO is playing Hugh's room on Friday the 20th? Discuss.

Definitely FC7. :) My heart votes on the "pick a sane time of year" option, but rather than throwing my vote away on that, I picked the 14th. Because (a) I'm not a big EFO fan, (b) more people can make it, and for longer, and (c) it's sooner. :)
See, since I was at Bowling Green for all of my past fr�con's, it never crossed my mind that there was a holiday that weekend. (For those out of the know, BGSU puts its students on display president's day, we don't get it off so the recruiters can lie to highschoolers ;-)
Another idea for the less-than EFO fans. Fordy was set to open for them last time, and he might be set to do so again... I agree Talcott.� I think if Mike Ford opened for EFO at Hugh's Room like he was going to last time, that may change some people's minds. It's a tough decision for me being the big EFO fan that I am, but I actually put down the weekend of the 14th, because I'd rather have the extra day then see EFO for the 20th time.� This decision is made pre-Fordy.
I want to alter my thought from earlier and say that either weekend will be fine.� If it turns out to be during EFO weekend, I just have to take an extra day off work.� I can alter my vacation schedule to make this possible.
Hrmmm! indeed. *changes mind based on possibility of Fordy goodness* good thing I read the forum before voting.����

well, what would the consensus -deem- 'a sane time of year' is the thing, then, though. i think that -that- in and of itself is one of our challenges; getting everyone to agree on a date/time.
though,of course, with the EFO show added into the equation on the 20th, i must admit i'd make more of an effort to be there.{in fact, now the chances of my being up there that weekend are HIGHLY LIKELY!!!!...enough time to save for airfare/etc...} but that's just me......... if fordy were to open, of course, that would raise the stakes for all the frus.....if y'all want, i can sniff around the inside track as far as EFO's concerned to see if it's a possibility again? please advise :)
I think any inside info would be VERY helpful to us.� And did EFO know about Frucon 7 weekend?� I HIGHLY doubt it, but it is quite the coincidence....
Yeah, l didn't think they would know what weekend it was.� Spooky.

Why can't EFO be more considerate of our plans? Why can't they schedule around us?? Bastages...

the efo show doesn't matter much to us, but neal and i will probably be there for our first frucon no matter what weekend it is. :)
You're making it harder to answer with "It doesn't matter because I can't go... I'll be one month into the new job, snowbound in Chicago, and flat broke.� Oh, and I hate the drive (pesky Canadian speed limits) and you never know what acts Congress will pass to make border crossing more difficult." (Oh, you forgot to bring your 'USA all the way' bumper sticker?� I'm sorry, but no border crossing for you.) dahh! thats no excuse! you think I wont be snow bound in MAINE then?! weakling! there is always that point in mid winter when the dress race begins. when the clean pants you just put on are so cold that you try to stand with your legs not touching any part of the inside of the cold denim.�when its SO cold that its like a badge of honor to be the one who manages to get that all important 26th layer of flece on over your wool sweater. weakling I say! weak! j/k.

I voted the 14th just because it seemed to me more likely that more people would be able to make it over the longish weekend.
Yeah, even though I am currently unemployed, I must speak up with pauley about this.
I mean, most people don't have the luxury of just saying "can I get next week off?" They have to ask, like, a minimum of a month in advance, and preferably three or four months. It looks like it will be a tough decision, as the poll is neck and neck, with the EFO option slightly ahead. But it looks like a decision will be made fairly soon, which would be great news if it meant more people could come due to the advance notice.

Anybody in Iowa planning on going? I've got more than enough car space, presuming it's still running by then.

doesn't make much difference on whether or not i'll be able to go, but i'd still rather the 14th...that way i can skip senior prom and feel good about doing so. :P

Senior prom in february? Maybe there should be a rolling frucon.� people stay for as long as they can starting one date and then leave after interacting with new people when they can make it. *S*
i hope there's still time to plan it. i'd like to finally make a frucon...too bad the year i decided to make it at all costs is the year it looks like it won't happen.
I'm assuming it's just not going to get planned?
Why on earth would you say such a thing?
It will happen. This will be another "frucon lite" like last year. We'll get a room, and then you'll have to make your own fun. We won't get numbers to justify all the planning that a big con reqires, but that's ok. People have been liking the small con thing very much.
that's all i want...a room and some fun people and some singing. just give us a date. :)
oOfar away from the cold night air...Oo
... wait a minute, this is toronto we're talking about. :)
