Yes, this, though maybe they could propose 2-3 possible weekends within their package which we could narrow down after the initial vote (i.e., in a west coast year, I could propose for Tucson April 3-4 or June 11-12; Cass might propose Portland April 11-12 or June 17-18 [dates totally made up here]; and if Portland won, we would then only have two dates to narrow down to)? And the date proposals themselves would be totally determined by the pimper, so one city might have spring and summer choices while another might be only spring or only summer. That makes so much sense to me.

If a site has more than one awesome date this is worth considering to be sure... The awesomeness of Survey Monkey nothwithstanding, however, I fear we loose interest/focus among the cat herd when we have more than a couple of votes. Momentum seemed to be a problem this last round.

That would be much less of an issue if we weren't starting the process a few months before the event. I say we leave it up to the pimpers. They should be able to propose one or two dates for their city. Momentum won't be an issue at that point.

Pimpers Rool!

2. Mall of America

3. Museum of Questionable Medical Devices

These two points are strongly selling Minn. for me.

Pimpers Rool!

Yes!

Another thing to consider for weather is that even though a southernly city might not have weather problems for coming in, those in the semi-frozen north might have problems getting out.

I only had a couple pictures that seem shareworthy, and they're here:

Am I missing something? I haven't seen prom pictures!

We didn't prom, we went out to dinner & then chilled in the suite/went to waterfire.
