Ok guys, We all know you're from somewhere, now just SHUT UP about having the con at the pub down your street! My suggestion is this. Hold the convention in a city that is the hub of some cheap airline. Denver, Atlanta, Dallas. Kanasas City, even, is easily accessible from anywhere in the US. Barring short commuter routes, almost any ticket will cost roughly the same, its just a matter of flight time inconvenience. Alex
