Flights for me.
The only reason Minneapolis is the most expensive is that there's no competing SW flights.
None are over $260 round trip.
Well some friends of Buffy played a funny joke and they took her stuff and now she wants us to help get it back from her friends who sleep all day and have no tans.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Also, in case anyone was wondering, there is no access to platform 9 3/4 in Chicago's Union Station.
At least, I couldn't find it.

Aside from airfares, one of the advantages of the better-populated cities is more non-hotel options for people who might not be able to swing both hotel and travel.

I'm in favor of Chicago, because that means I'll definitely be able to attend the F2F.

Chicago's great, though I think people counting on cheap-yet-decent hotel rooms are doomed to disappointment. (I stayed at the 2002 F2F hotel in Evanston a couple years later on a business trip and both it and the surrounding area had gone seriously downhill.)
Minneapolis is a really good walking city if you stay downtown, as is St. Louis. Nashville doesn't strike me as such, but it does have a lot of attractions, and holds the possibility of an Opryland Hotel stay where everything we need is under one roof.

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?

Depends on your definition of cheap. Not as cheap as SF sure. I would guess we could get something decent for $139-169 per night with a group rate.

My definition of cheap doesn't include $170/night hotel rooms.
