Obviously, its not fair that it hangs in the West all of the time. But, NY, NY is NOT the answer. I heard on the radio today that tolls are about to be cranked from $7/$8ish to $15. Now, I get that you people in NY don't know any different, but to the rest of the country, the $7 toll is ridiculous. I also heard that cigarettes (I don't smoke, I'm just making a point) are about $15 a pack in NY while they are about $5-$6 everywhere else. And, I've known people that have moved from NY to my area and said they made substantially more money in NY than they do here but its so much cheaper to live here, they have substantially more money now.
Now, I do realize that Cali is uber-stupidly expensive when compared to the rest of the US as well, but its not NYC.
As for the whining about it always being in the US, there are a lot of cool opportunities to go international, but think of the impossible logistics. Honestly, I'm surprised they are going back to Hawaii, it has to be a logistical nightmare for TCPi to arrange a tournament in HI when they are in WA or wherever. In fact, its probably quite a pain for them (logistically speaking) to have tournaments San Diego, but the pain becomes exponentially less as the distance from their base shrinks.
But, since we are all cherry picking some favorites, I would LOVE to see it in Texas. The obvious choice would be Dallas (DFW area, anyway), though Houston is a good "fair weather city" that matches climates of Hawaii, San Diego, and Florida. But, if I had to choose any place to have it in Texas, I would go with San Antonio. San Antonio is just an awesome city. Its one of those places that just has a ton of things to do and everyone would enjoy.
