For what I think they can do with the event, I would like to see Seattle - the savings for travel for the staff alone could make it a real blow out Poke-festival.
Anaheim was a lot of fun too. I would go back to there or San Diego in heartbeat.
Florida, with the late summer weather, may be a bit tricky. anyone from 2004 will agree we got LUCKY diving between two hurricanes.
Gulf coast of Texas has the same concerns, as does the South East coast of the US.
Baltimore, Maryland could be a lot of fun....good city, with a lot of stuff really close to it!
We shall see. We shall see.
