Doyle ,'Life of the Party'
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: Madison, WI from June 20-22 2008! Official website.
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.

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.
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!
Baby, you can ride whatever you like in Chicago.

I vote Chicago.
Nice museum. Chicago has lube wrestling.
Kansas City is a nice option, I think, for affordability. It has pretty fountains!
I'm not sure if I'd describe the spitters as "pretty" but it's certainly an enjoyable venue for whiling away an afternoon watching humans be human.
OK, not always pretty, but pretty darn cool!
I love that Millenium Park has turned into a big gathering place downtown. My mom's coming in for a week's stay in August, and I'm taking her to the Pritzker Pavillion for the weekly Grant Park Symphony concert (they're doing Beethoven's Pathetique that Wednesday). We'll probably end up parking out in Forest Park and taking the El in for the day.
