--- Quote from: Linds on 11 Aug 2009, 19:36 ---If some of you are so worried about a lot of these being so east coast and others are worried they can't go if it's west coast because it's so far away, then pick something in the middle of the country. The two cities suggested so far being close to center are Austin and Denver. Both are cheaper than flying from one coast to another and would also be a change from the north eastern corner of the US. Austin is a pretty cool city and from what I've heard Denver is as well.

Except we haven't done one of these big meetups in the North eastern corner of the US, which is part of why I haven't attended one. Toronto and Chicago are both hella far for me (Toronto was worse as it was either a nine/ten hour drive or a flight that was more expensive than going to freakin' England would've been) and I don't really count Boston so much as that was essentially three folks I'd never met sleeping on my floor for a couple days plus Shane and my girlfriend.
Austin and Denver are honestly, to me, not as appealing as California from an East Coaster's perspective as California seems to have a lot more to do and isn't much farther or more expensive than SF or SD.

Than Denver or Austin, I mean. Whoops.

OK so we've got a poll already but for the sake of it:
Time: I don't know when exactly I'll be in N America, because of a few other factors financial and personal, but at the moment it is probably looking like I'll be there July, and then starting work for the snow season.
Where: Anywhere. My personal preference is (in order): SF, D.C, NYC, Austin, The rest.
the_pied_piper:
Timewise late June/early July would be best for me (late July is graduation time) so that it is after the exam period.
Locationwise the East coast would be better for cost but if people prefer the West coast thats fine aswell.
