I believe that is the case with everyone that posted yes in this thread.

Im in for California. I'd prefer the bay area, but would not mind other places in the state. I would even hop a flight to vegas if the convention was there. I dont know if i would fly for more than a couple hours to get to the con, though.

Im sure Shrapnel has demographics from their sales info to know where the highest concentration of players are, but perhaps we should try to get a rough count of how many board members are in what areas, and how far they are willing to travel.

Karibu has a good plan though. Ive always wanted to see Finland, maybe we can all get a package travel deal with a group rate. I hear Suko Kolkka is still alive, though I am only familiar with a single word of Finnish, and dont know what I'd say to the man if I spoke more...

Ohio might not be a bad plan, either. If i remember, thats the home of the legendary Geoschmo and PBW, for whom we should all buy a beer.

I can pretty much guarantee that California is out, but who knows.

Actually we do have demographics from our sales, hmm time to look those up.

I'm in if it is within 2 hours of Boston.

I could make an argument that Boston is best for our European friends.

Are you trying to kill the man? If we all bought him a beer, that would kill him! (assuming he drank them all, of course ).

Only if he drank them all at once. If he spread them out, he could simply stay drunk for a month.

How about Iceland? It's in the middle of the Atlantic (more or less), I hear the airfares are cheap, the bars open like New York diners, and they have hot springs. All we need is a hotel with a working network and we're set!!

Someplace in the Caribbean would be better (I'm sure), but they put so many ads for Iceland in the Last few years, it just makes me wonder.

I'd go to Iceland or Eastern Canada even though it is more than 2 hours.
I will not go to New York City.
