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.

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'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.

Oooh, my brother's in Minneapolis. I hadn't thought of that.
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.
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.
megan, I owe you email, but I'm checking with my MSP friends to make sure the places I liked are still cool. You *do* have to go to Psycho Suzi's, though. It is made of awesome.
