Actually Baltimore, Philly or NY would work for me.


Jersey stinks too much... you don't want to have it there. LOL!

Well, I know I've posted this before - tongue - but I would be strongly opposed to having it in New York. It would be way too expensive and fewer people would come. There are no affordable hotels or places to eat in Manhattan at all. I found the part of LA we were in to be dirt cheap by comparison. I paid half as much for my sandwiches at Subway as I'm used to paying at home. tongue The hotels we stayed in were also significantly cheaper than most NYC hotels.

Agreed...I've never been to NYC, but I can imagine the costs are much more than in LA. I was pleasantly surprised that most of the prices in LA were comparable to hotel/food/cab-fare prices found here in Austin, TX. More expensive than in other Mid-west/South areas, but still not bad!

Next Celebration I hope to take more time off work, stay at a hotel closer to CC, and enjoy the local sites, whether in LA or wherever...I definitely didn't see enough of LA at CIV...too much time spent waiting in line for yucky food, etc. at the convention center.
