Having just been in Madison, WI, I have to say, that was a lovely lovely location, with lots of walkable entertainment.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: Madison, WI from June 20-22 2008! Official website.

with lots of walkable entertainment.
That's a huge plus, in my book. One thing that'll be interesting is taking a look at my home town from a carless perspective to see how easy/difficult it is to get around via foot and/or public transport.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Ok, Branson would be a hoot.
And a holler, I'd imagine.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I've got a brother in Memphis, so I'd have additional incentive if someone were to pimp that, but I've heard that's not a particularly good walking city. Granted, I heard that about Atlanta too, and where we were for the F2F worked out just fine.
I don't get the Branson thing. And now for some reason I'm earwormed with Shoeless Joe from Hannibal, MO.
Also, there should be a Sizlack, MO. And a Flaming, MO.

Mostly lurking...
I'm also big on Kansas City as an option.

Between St. Louis and Kansas City, . . . I'd choose Dallas.
(All three are places where my DH has family/grew up so they're all linked in my wee brain.)
It would be interesting to see proposals from St. Louis and KC, to see what folks who aren't in-laws do for fun.

Nashville's come up in the past - is that central? Milwaukee's also an option, as is a return to Chicago.

I could look into some possibilities. Some new downtown hotels have opened up since 2005. If we kept everything central to downtown, it'd just be two cab- or rental car-rides for each person flying in.
