Mmm, all three of those cities have great points! I think I can make it this year, if I get a contract offer!

Okay folks, let's do this.
I'll tally and report on the results on Thursday of next week. (Hey, is that onerous task day? Perfect!)
Dates are usually the hardest part to be sure about, but they haven't really been set so I put what I saw as likely per the posts. It does seem like mid to late June is probably the rough time frame for any of them. I'd suggest we figure out which city has the most interest and then we can go from there on picking a place and a hard date. But I've added a comment box so if you know a certain date is problematic, add that in. Or, you know, any other remarks that might be relevant.
ETA: register your opinion on all - you don't have to pick just one. We'll shoot for whichever has the most positive response and least can't-goes.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
brenda, thank you so much for getting that together!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Yes, brenda, thank you.

Brenda, thank you so much for that. The only thing I'd say is that I accidentally was able to check off two items for the same city. I didn't submit it that way, and if that's the way you wanted it then never mind.

Good job, Brenda!
Ooh, I just had a thought: whatever city we decide on, I'm gonna sign up for Groupons from that city till we go. I bet people can score some good deals for shopping and lunch places!

That's a great idea.
Thanks for the catch, Frank. It can't be changed without losing the responses (more than 20 already!), but even if there are a couple of extra data points we should be able to work with it.

move out and draw fire
Thanks brenda - I just voted. I've had "actually call hotels in ABQ to get quotes" on my list for WEEKS, but life has eaten me starting from the bottom.
However, I'm still willing to coordinate from afar, as it looks like my sked will settle down by April, and I plan to be in NM anyway around then (I'll move my travel dates to NM in accordance with the F2F I suspect).
