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.

In past years it has been strongly expressed that $99 is the breaking point.

If that is truly the breaking point, Chicago may be out of the running. I seem to recall higher rates at other F2Fs.

Yes there have been higher rates. Normally accompanied by gnashing of teeth.
