F2F 4: Too Much Candy, Never Enough Mojitos.
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.
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.
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.
I don't mind Memphis, it is the Place 'O Matt.
brenda, Nashville was nominated last time the central's turn came around. As was Toronto.
Kansas City: walkable, cheap, jazz, steaks
Nashville, Toronto, and Minneapolis were all nominated last time. I am pro all of those cities. I am also pro-Madison.
I am NSM on the Dells.
