    I'll throw in a vote for DC since I live here, but I'd probably go anywhere on the east coast. I agree that Atlanta is easy to get to and has cheaper lodging than lots of the other proposed cities (plus I used to live there and love it there so I'm biased).

    Why does no one want to have the meetup in KC?!

    I chose Chicago because it's the only possible drive-able one.

    Chicago because it's only a 4 hour drive for me!

    @.twist.: same! I'd go for NYC or Boston, because I *think* they're closest to Canada!

    Selfishly, I pick Chicago (a 5 hour drive) or DC (I have family there and wouldn't have to stay in a hotel).

    Though, TN would work for me as well, since Nashville is like three hours away.

    Selfishly Chicago because it would take me only 30 minutes and because it's AWESOME.

    Chicago because it's only 1 and a half hours from me!

    @Freckles: haha well maybe I'll just change my vote to Toronto then

    @kjpugs: Oh yeah, that shouldn't cost too much! LOL. Although if Mr. bee is hosting, let's just do ahead and do a dinner seating so we can watch the fireworks too.

    I'm actually going to Chicago next month for a Mom Meetup. It's a private FB group of May 2013 moms which spawned from the WB group for our due date month when we wanted a more private way of communicating. There's about 6 of us going (a couple who I think may be on here too?) and I'm so excited about it!

    I voted Atlanta cuz I think it's probably the easiest for most of us to get to (as pps have mentioned ,it's SO easy/cheap to get flights to ATL). Plus I have friends there and could stay for free. And there's a ton to do in Atlanta.

    That being said, I'd also love it if it were in Memphis. I've heard awesome things about that city and have been wanting to go for years.

    @avivoca: Come see meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! (Note: By the time you actually come see me, you'll be so tired of me pleading that you'll never want to talk to me again :P)

    @loveisstrange: yep! i picked LA because it's closest! ha.

    NYC, because it's the closest to where I am (Ontario) and I have family that lives there.

  20. hellobeeboston

    honeydew / 7235 posts

    I'm in Boston but chose NYC since it seems like an easier location for more people.

  21. Espion

    Seattle needs to be on there. There a few of us Pacific Northwest bees.

    Everywhere is far from me, so I picked San Fran.

  22. lovehoneybee

    GOLD / wonderful pea / 17697 posts

    New York or Philly, because they are relatively close to me

  23. Mrs. Pickle

    blogger / wonderful cherry / 21628 posts

    I voted Atlanta so I'd be close enough to go visit family. Dallas or NYC would be great too!

    If we did chicago (and had kids with us) I would happily plan lots of fun kid activities. And help hook everyone up with sitters so we can do some fun stuff in the evening kid free

    Vegas always has awesome flight deals so I picked Vegas (:

  26. BSB

    hostess / wonderful apple seed / 16729 posts

    Seattle, Portland or Vancouver! Only because it's close to me.

    Unless you do Orlando area around Aug 2-9th. Or NYC or Philly areas during Sept 20 ish. Hehe!

    Ha Dallas, since I live here. But I'd hate for anyone to spend lots of money to travel to this concrete jungle.

  28. chopsuey

    hostess / wonderful honeydew / 32460 posts

    Atlanta or Vegas!

  29. Grace

    cantaloupe / 6730 posts

    I'd pick Vegas because there are always super-cheap deals and more people could go.

    I'm surprised by how many Chicago bees there are!! Flights to Chicago are cheap here, so I'd be down with that, too.

  31. Dandelion

    watermelon / 14206 posts

    I picked Atlanta cause its the most realistic for me to get to. Also cheaper than a lot of other cities.

  32. wonderstruck

    pomegranate / 3791 posts

    What, no one wants to come out my way to Detroit? I mean...it's so appealing! Who needs Chicago or Disney World?

    @Pepper: I didn't realize there were so many either!
