i think vegas in september would be cool cuz it's not super expensive (and my schedule clears around sept.) but i think the important thing is wherever and whenever is best for the most people. chicago is also a really great city and central and not as expensive as nyc. that being said, i'm always looking for an excuse to go back to the east coast and meet up with my friends there. i'm just upset that it's my weekend to work during the chicago one.
