New Orleans won the vote that year and had one of the lowest attendance rates though. The vote got spit between KC and Minneapolis.

The status is NOT quo.
And as the defacto coordinator of NOLA, I have to say that the low attendance coupled with the high costs was a bit of a nightmare.
I don't think Chicago is as expensive as NOLA, though, is it?

I'm getting the pig!
What I'm saying, though, is that cost always seems to be more of a factor in the beginning than it is later on. Let's keep Chicago in the running.
I think the main thing I learned from the NOLA year was "don't have a voting poll with three cities at the same time". As long as we don't go that route, we should be ok.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
It is possible to do Chicago on the cheap. If you do all the touristy stuff it'll cost more but you can save money by going to museums on free day or having a drink at the bar on the 95th floor of the Hancock instead of paying to go to the Observation Deck.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
All of the possibilities mentioned so far sound enticing to me. Love Chicago and could take the train there. Minneapolis = Prince in my mind, so I'm all for that. Kansas City I understand has some crazy li'l women, and a variety of transportation options to get there. I don't know anything in particular about Nashville, but I'm sure it has many fine qualities that would recommend it.
In short, F2F yay!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Baby, you can ride whatever you like in Chicago.

Nice museum. Chicago has lube wrestling.

Kansas City is a nice option, I think, for affordability. It has pretty fountains!
