Dollywood might have some entertainment value, but Pigeon Forge is a zoo in the summer. The crowds are awful.
I'm personally not thrilled with the idea of Nashville, because my family is there, and I drive to Nashville frequently. Also, did I mention that my family is there? There is a lot to do, though. It's definitely a car town, so we'd need a hotel downtown or around Vanderbilt/Music Row.
I always love Chicago. I really liked Kansas City, but the last time I was there was for MidAmeriCon. The older fannish types among you can do the math.
Lawrence is VERY fun, and my SIL is an event planner there and could probably help, if we wanted to do that.
Seriously?
Okay, I second my own motion for Lawrence, or rather, make it more serious. Because that's way cool. Sure, no Buffistas, but a Buffista-in-law!
Seriously?
Oh, absolutely! She's fantastic.
If it's Lawrence, I'm definitely in. If I have to road trip it.
But isn't the Lawrence from which your fannishness arises really Vancouver?
Which would also be an awesome place to F2F. Of course, Kansas means my in-laws and Vancouver means my cousin, so I might be biased.
Ooooh. Vancouver.
Wouldn't that technically be considered West Coast?

We'd be pretending it's Lawrence, KS, just like the people on teevee!

God, I think I injured myself.
So, real!Lawrence this year, fake!Lawrence next year?

Yes. Except we'll tell people it was just one F2F, and when we post photos online we'll use indoor shots from Lawrence and outdoor shots from Vancouver.
