So, I disagree with your reasoning because the date has a much larger impact on who can attend and thus who cares about where it's going to be.
Then again I think I might be the only person who was excluded solely on account of the date this time, so maybe not?
the_pied_piper:
I have to agree with Slick's post above because one of the major factors for attendants is likely to be school/college/university term times and these are different across continents and even countries.
I certainly wouldn't be able to attend if it was in May because that is when my exams are.
Destination doesn't matter to me though, i'll let the knowledgeable people about the cities sort it out.

See we've got this ugly coupled system where timing is more important for some people and location is more important for some people. What to do what to do.

Go to New York

Find out who's actually interested in going one way or the other?
The timing will matter less if only like two or three college/uni folks actively show interest or feel they can afford it next year. If say twenty people confirm interest and fifteen of them are out of college, I have to imagine the ones out of college would have to take precedence as the majority. Conversely, if fifteen out of twenty are still in school, that would make it so that picking the time first would be borderline mandatory.
So how about we get a running count of who is legitimately interested. Just say if you're interested, what timeframe is best for you and where you'd LIKE to go.
For me, I'm definitely interested, though I'd prefer NYC or DC any time from August on. Anything other than NYC or DC, I probably won't be able to make due to budget constraints, though I'm more flexible on the time than the location, I just need time to save up. If we did somewhere further away, I'd be a very tentative maybe, depending on how long I'd have to save and, bluntly speaking, how many people I legitimately care about who are going. No offense, folks, but I don't think most people want to travel 2,000 miles if they're really only interested in seeing one or two of the people who attend.
NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEXT!
