NYCon Vs SanFranciscon
Tyler:
I sort of agree with Johnny. I think a buscon should just amount to "Hey we are having a con in NYC. However, a bunch of us want to also do DC. We will go see DC afterward with our extended time to do so, before or after the con." I guess this is similar to the whole Camp Edith thing this year.
Liz:
So how about we just say that the actual con is in NYC for however many days, and anyone that wants to can join NYCon Part 2: DCon at the end of it? You find your own way there, be it bus, train, rental car, whatever. We set up a final time to be there and a place to meet and see what happens.

Ace of Cakes Con, please.
Christophe:
San Francisco is obviously the easier choice for me due to its closeness. If it was in NYC, I would still love to go, but since I plan to go to the Chicago 2010 PRFBBQ, there may only be room for one extravagant plane trip for me next summer.
KvP:
I'm going to agree with the idjits up here. Chicagocon was great but getting everyone on the same page was relatively time-consuming, especially when getting EVERYBODY from the residence to transit.

--- Quote from: Jordan ---And I think the people who are gung-ho for DC don't really understand the Con too much since they keep talking about museums and stuff.

Huh? I thought that was people generally did at these things? They went to interesting places and had hijinks. I'm pretty sure there are hella hijinks to be had at the flippin' Smithsonian. And even museums et. al. is not something that was done at other cons, then who says that it has to be that way in perpetuity for every Con?

What Jordan was referring to was comments in the other thread by DCers about how it was nigh-impossible to get into the DC museums in the Summertime on account of how everybody and their family goes on trips to see them during that time. And as far as I know there's really not much else in DC besides the monuments and the museums. We could tour sketchy neighborhoods!
Also, what's the state of public transport in DC?
