Ditto Justin -
MCO (Orlando) would be pure hell if it was in the spring - flights are always full in the spring starting in the fall.
The midwest would be fine and dandy - as you said, easy to get to as a lot of airlines have hubs there.

Thank goodness they aren't considering LA again. Here's hoping it's back in Indianapolis, though Baltimore or Chicago would be OK with me too.
Scanning old posts, I decided to post an updated tote board of Celebration Announcement stats (originally written by Sebulba-X) so we can see how this information fits in with typical celebration information being released.
Celebration 2:
Unofficial News Broke/Confirmed: 03/23/2001 (144 days before Offical Announcement, 406 days before event)
Official Site Announcement: 08/14/2001 (262 days prior to event)
Celebration 2 Starts: 05/03/2002
Celebration 3:
Unofficial News Broke/Confirmed: 11/04/2003 (80 days before Offical Announcement, 534 days before event)
Official Site Announcement: 01/23/2004 (454 days prior to event)
Celebration 3 Starts: 04/21/2005
Celebration 4:
Unofficial News Broke/Confirmed: 04/21/2006 (35 days before Official Announcement, 398 days before event)
Official Site Announcement: 05/26/2006 (363 days prior to event)
Celebration 4 Starts: 05/24/2007
Celebration 5:
Coming soon

I was thinking the longer we go without an announcement, the more likely that 2010 will be the time, but Celebration Japan was announced in February or thereabouts, wasn't it? Based on that and how CJ has come together, it appears there is a lot of time yet to make a 2009 date.
Excellent observation, Moff. C-Japan was indeed officially announced on Feb 23rd.
Even if we don't hear anything official about C5 until October, that would still give LFL over 7 months to plan for the con, assuming an April/May release timeframe.
2009 is still a strong possibility, my friends.

Thanks for the timetable; it sure looks like all bets are off for the next one as to annoucement timeframe. The lawsuit has a lot to do with that, I'm sure; LFL had to find another management company. Still, as long as the venue is secure, the rest can fill in itself, more or less, as it is a formulaic concept. The problem is confirming guests, but I would hope that the "usual suspects" 8-) have kept their calendars fairly clear.

A lot of cool places to go around the city... the bar district, comedy clubes. There's ESPN Zone and Hard Rock within walking distance to the convention center, not to mention the harbor itself. There are two large pavilions (like mini malls) right at the harbor. We also have one of the best aquariums and of course the Science Center WITH IMAX, all within walking distance of the convention center.
I don't mean to come across as being rude and all, but those other attractions have no appeal to me during a Celebration.
When I attend a Celebration, I am there for the con and the con only. I get in the doors each day as soon as possible and stay as late as possible.
I could never see myself attending some other function while the con was still open. If the convention is still open, I am there.
Again, that is just my (and my wife's) opinion. We don't have any children to accommodate, so these other attractions would be important for families traveling I would guess. Or for fans who might only be able to attend the con for 1-2 days.
Just throwing that info out there in case anyone was curious. A couple of the places I mentioned were places to eat and as I recall that was quite a concern during the last several conventions. I imagine since there is an IMAX across the street they would have some type of Star Wars attraction for a few days. They always seem to be intune with what's going on. This city has it's problems, but it comes together nicely for big events. Seems like everyone gets in on the action when there is something going on.

Oh I know, Bri. Like I said, I didn't want to come across as not appreciating the info you provided.

I really don't care if Gen Con runs it. I just want to be able to go. If they choose Balitmore, Orlando, or Minneapolis then I won't be going. My truck can't handle that long of a drive and the fuel expense would be too great. Let's hope Indy gets it for Spring, 2010. They deserve another shot at it with a new company managing it. Chicago would be ok.

Oh, the time table was interesting...thanks for posting that. I don't suppose I ever really realized that word broke out unofficially before we had our "real" announcement. But it only makes sense, really.
With the way that Celebration Europe and Celebration Japan have been announced, planned and executed, I'm really not sure what we can expect in terms of a timetable. I still have my hopes set on 2009, but I understand that a lot of people wish for more time to plan and whatnot. I suppose I've been planning since the end of CIV.  Plus, I can show off my costumes sooner. So yay. lol

More News and Rumors from TF.N
"Things are looking up in for Celebration 5 being in the mid-west or on the east coast. An article from the Baltimore Business Journal quotes Steve Sansweet that Baltimore is indeed on the list of cities being considered.
The cities mentioned on the list include:
Baltimore
Minneapolis
Chicago
Indianapolis
Orlando
Click here for the full read!"
The full article makes mention of Celebration V being held in either the Spring of 2009 or the Spring of 2010. I'm gonna take my guess that they'll shoot for 2010 at the rate that we're going...

I think it could be at the end of this month we will hear something ? I hope its 2009 because i want to combine C5 with the Lincoln 200th birthday celebrations with a visit to Springfield to the Abraham Lincoln Presidetial Library & Museum, if its 2010 it wont be the same.

Ok, can we change the banner now? 
Who is good at designing such things? One with a landmark from all cities in the running would be oh so cool.

Once an official brand new C5 forum has been created, I'm sure we'll see a new banner design in that fourm.
