LOL...
For now, it is held in Atlanta, Georgia (home of the Olympics one year). This was the 5th, I think, year in Atlanta (and 18th over all). Right down town. Besides travel, it's not to bad as the hotel gets VERY lenient with multiple guests in the rooms. Though rooms are $150 USD, get with 4 other peeps (with air mattresses or sleeping bags) and the price becomes VERY affordable. You can learn more
here.
As to wifey (LOL), I had to train her. You see, before we got married, she was a "Melrose Place", "Dallas", "Beverly Hills 90210" sort of person. Though she had a sci-fi movie or 2 under her belt, I "force-fed" her Star Trek (TNG), Star Trek (movies), Star Wars, Terminator series, Alien series, Pitch Black/Riddick Cronicles, Enterprise, Planet of the Apes series, 2001/2010 Space Odessey, Stargate, Outland, 5th Element, Armagedden, (well, you get the idea...more than I need to list here) till she cried, "Uncle!". And when Firefly came along, that was IT! She was converted!
Currently, we're renting the Taken series from Blockbuster.
She plays a lot of Mechwarrior 4 (and 3) on the MSN Gaming Zone (under the name Valkyrie). And we pull out the CyberStorm game once in a while and compete against each other. BUT, though she gave it an honest try, SE4 just wasn't her cup of tea (sigh). Well us husbands can't have everything, right?
