KeyCon 2016 Planning, Organizing, and Fraternizing (Location selected)

[apathy3cs]

I could most likely get a room for free in Indianapolis if there was interest there from iupui.  It's close enough to Chicago that is shouldn't take away from the people wanting to go.  The downside is Indianapolis is (kind of) boring.

I live in Indianapolis and I don't recommend having a Keycon here.  Somebody seems throw out Indianapolis every time there is a Keycon discussion.  I mean, I could make the arrangements and I know all the hip spots, but come on, it's Indianapolis, the appeal is lacking in order to attract a decent crowd.

[vivalarevolución]

Also, have Texas and the West Coast been eliminated from the running because lack of interest from potential hosts?  Texas is great for affordable flights, the west coast is the west coast.

Nashville and Asheville are both great places, my concern is those places are going to be more expensive to fly into, reducing potential turnout.

Out of everything listed, my votes goes to Florida, because flights and theme parks.  And water parks, I love water parks, maybe I could mix this in with my Florida water park extravaganza trip.

[vivalarevolución]

51% for Chicago, come on, people, vote Florida.

My ballot has been tampered with!  Watch dogs!  Watch dogs!  We got tampered ballots here!  It's hanging chads all over again!

"Blank Space" is actually about blank PBT keys.

So far Nashville has Booper and Taylor Swift, but more votes are going to Chicago?  Pfft.

[hwood34]

Honestly I think Nashville and Austin would be much cooler. Honestly just not a repeat place

[tigersharkdude]

RetroChick and LSB arent too far away (7  hour drive IIRC) and Katz is in Louisiana or Mississippi.

There are a handful of people here in Nashville, im sure we would all be down to help.

Oh, and MechanicalKeyboards.com is right outside of Nashville in Fairview (like a 30 minute drive)


What do you all think of Knoxville? Theres a decent amount of stuff to do, and Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg is right down the road

I edited the poll. You can vote 3 times and change your votes. If you already voted, click remove vote and redo if you want to have multiple submissions.

Year of the Mod for sure
Don't think it's gonna stop the impending tide of Chiraq, but it'll sure help

[grav3serker]

I think Florida would be the best location. Especially for people who want to fly in from overseas

Finally 

Edit: Wait, why only three?  Shouldn't this effectively just be a tally of everyone that can attend each given location?  If I am able to attend all of them, why wouldn't we want to know this?

2 polls? One where you pick all you can attend, one where you choose preference? MORE WORK FOR THE MODS

Can only have one poll per thread.    But maybe we could just make a bunch of threads in this subforum solely for the purpose of polls.  )

[Hispes]

Wait... didn't we decide on Nashville already?

Thanks for helping out! Whatever you guys decide to do will be perfect.

God I wish man.

[Air tree]

Florida pls. Going to keycon would be fun. 


Chicago is so far away. I bet hauff is swaying the vote. </3

[ImpendingxDoom]

I suggest the direct center of the united states. We can gather in a corn field. Someone bring a table.

I can edit it but I don't want to just come busting in and over-rule your stuff, man.  Figured I'd bring it up as a proper discussion point. 

[CPTBadAss]

If we hold it in Chicago, Glorious Leader can lead us in the most efficient and tastiest GB R2 that Geekhack has ever seen. Anyone else dreaming about that Giordano's from last year? )

My family is staying with some extended family right now because we don't even have a house. Would offer if I could, life is in constant turmoil at the moment.  )

[vivalarevolución]

I suggest a runoff vote of the top two vote getters if there is no clear majority.  Seriously.

[tigersharkdude]

If it ends up being Nashvegas, I offer any assistance I can give for planning.

pretty sure you are referring to Pita Inn. 

although I might have to bow that best find to CBA for chinatown.  We'll have to make it there earlier next time.

We still have a ton of really good well-known places around town and on the northside we can hit.  The joy of working up here I tend to try all of the food places here.

It was downtown, after we all sat down, my wife looked at CBA's plate and immediately had buyers remorse.
