Kansas City is also a nice central location and they have really good Jazz and BBQ.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I mean, if we can get a good hotel room in SF for $99/night, we can probably find somehing equatable for Chicago.
While I would support a Chicago F2F, this not necessarily true. Hotels in the Loop/Gold Coast areas tend to be much more than that (typically $169 is a low rate for those areas). But, we can always go to the Lakeview area or even back to Evanston like last time. Lincoln Park Days Inn (http://www.lpndaysinn.com/index2.html) would be a great location.

Baby, you can ride whatever you like in Chicago.
I like this plan.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Parade rainer!!! Parade rainer!!!
Hee. You are totally right. I was checking some sample rates today and it'd be hard to get Loop/Gold Coast rooms down that low. But having recently BEEN to Lincoln Park, I can say Me Likey!!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I'll still throw Nashville and Minneapolis into the mix. KC and Chicago have the advantage of having localistas, but the other cities are still fun and relatively inexpensive.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Y'know. I think I'm just gonna say screw it and go wherever it is next year.
I think my pref is 1) Nashville 2) Chicago 3) KC 4) Minneapolis
But really, I think I'll go anywhere.

I'm getting the pig!
For a few years now I've been hearing great things about Chicago and I look forward to finally getting out there to check it out. Hanging out with a bunch of buffistas (even more than are already localistas, which was enough of a bonus) would make it damn near impossible to say no to.
