I'm in with LA next year followed by DC, and will see what I can do to pull my weight in making it work

LA blows! I've been there and hated it! It's a very weird city. I don't like being inside a bowl and then you look up and the sky is yellow instead of blue.

Sky looks pretty blue to me, especially when it meets the ocean. At least as far as I can see from my balcony window right now.

And, yeah. Doesn't really matter which city it is for me as long as the hotel is nice. Embassy suites was very nice at CanJam.

LA doesn't sound half bad except for the traffic around LAX is horrendous... I guess over the weekends when CanJam would be held would be a little better. It does have a lot of potential though. Probably wouldn't be too hard finding local sponsors either.

If you're blue and you don't know where to go to why don't you go where fashion sits....

That shouldn't be a big problem at that time of year and again, it's more about the people than the city.

I think both LA and DC will be great venues for the next CanJam (or whatever it may be called in the future). I also think this could be advantageous to be able to set up the next two meet locations now.

The meet has been bouncing around the edges of the country; time to stick it smack-dab in the midwest .

It doesn't have to be Chicago, though I personally feel that the Illinois location has the greatest potential out of all the other cities in the region.
