NYCon Vs SanFranciscon
0bsessions:
New idea inspired by Jens:
Buscon 2010. All the foreigners fly into JFK and spend a weekend in NYC. We then all hop on the same BoltBus and ride down to DC to look at monuments.
I am at least 53% serious. NYC to DC is less than five hours on a bus and round trip is under $100. This idea's got legs, folks.
pen:
I would not do that. I can't afford the vacation time for a week with the internet.
I can't afford to fly out west next year as I plan to move and apartments/furnishings are expensive, yo. I'm up for an east cost, cheap-ish thing.
yelley:
Okay, so we have the people who would go no matter where it is that are supposed to not vote, the people who can't afford to go unless it's on the east coast, and the people who can't afford to go unless it's on the west coast. I think we can all agree that NY, DC, and SF all have rad things to offer and we'd all have fun no matter where we end up. I've been to both NYC and SF a lot of times and they're both expensive cities, so I think we're just debating between the cost of getting there because the money we'd spend at either place would be about the same.
2008 was in Toronto, 2009 was in Chicago, which are both within reasonable driving distance from most of the midwest and northeast states. This makes it pretty easy for some and really hard for others to get there. Having the next con in NYC or DC would be making it easy for the same group and making it hard yet again for the rest. So I vote for SF in 2010 and then you guys can have it back in your half in 2011. Also we can't make it to NYC in July/August anyway, money isn't the issue but no way will we both be able to get enough time off of work to justify flying all the way out there.
