It is NOT Memorial Day weekend.
Funpublications need to just choose one city on a permanent basis and the same weekend in the summer when kids and college students are not in school. They could advertise the con a whole lot better and not have to re-invent the wheel each time. Only NEWB cons move around.

If you're looking to stay at a nearby economy hotel, you shouldn't have any problem, aside from having to drive to the con and pay for parking every day. Plus hanging out with all the other con-goers afterhours, that makes it worth it to stay in one of the convention hotels.

What about us poor Southerners who froze our butts off in Rhode Island in 07? Sure, the evening temp was mid 60s, but that's jacket weather for me, or at least long sleeves!
In all seriousness, I doubt that temperature is relevant to location choice in either direction. I did truly want a jacket in Providence though! Geez, it was late June, you'd think it'd be warm outside!

Jolly people in a place where it'll likely be in the mid to high 90's is not a solid game plan. The midwest/east is normally a more moderate area with temps in the 70's and low 80's.

The rest of the year the weather is practically fighting a temperature war just to stay warm. The mornings are very brisk even without a cold front. It's rare for me in the spring and fall to step outside in the morning to find it warm. Sure it warms up by the afternoon, but just once I'd like to have warm spring/fall mornings for more than two or three days. And don't get me started on winter. Not to mention that rain only makes it worse. When it rains, it cools.

Every year people find a reason to say attendance will be down (location, timing, quality of special guests, con set, etc.) and every year attendance increases.

The closest we got is columbus OH last year but somehow the MOFOs had all the hotels booked up a day after they announced it. Why was i gonna go and have no place to stay? Dont think ill ever be able to go.
