I would love to see it in Chicago! My family lives in Evanston, just south of NWU--so I have a home-base there, as it were.

Chicago is a FANTASTIC selection for a city to host an international meet. Question is, who is going to step up and commit to running it and making it a success?

I am throwing my support behind the LA team. My sources are telling me they are ready, willing and able to pull it off.

My first choice would be Baltimore/DC. (Well really NYC or Boston but I know that isn't going to happen.) But if it is down to LA vs. Chicago I would rather go Chicago.

Son, all I've ever asked of my fellow headfiers is that they obey my orders as they would the word of God. We are here to help the LA Team, because inside every LA headfier there is a Florida headfier trying to get out. It's a hardball world, son. We've gotta keep our heads until this Chicago, Baltimore, Boston, NYC craze blows over.

As I'm the one who put forward to run DC/Baltimore, and I'm backing LA at this point, I agree Mike

We could always try driving to Hawaii to cut down on travel expense...

There are those who treat music as a convenience.
And then there are those who recognize it as an art.

If the date can be set for the middle of May, then I'm in for helping out however I can. Anyone else willing?

I might add that a little faith in Chicago would be much appreciated as well; the lack of confidence annoys me.
