Robert, I don't know the technical answer to your question, but I can tell you that right now six people have voted, and Kansas City in September is leading the pack.

Sue, you're right that someplace on the Plaza in KC would be nice. Since leaving Kansas after college I have endured my share of Kansas jokes -- many of them from my husband! -- but I continue to insist that KC is a hidden jewel of a city. (Actually, my husband grudgingly agreed after being dragged there for a visit.) Okay, okay, I know the Plaza area is in Missouri, but still ... Anyway, we'll see what happens. A Midwest gathering would be great fun.

Now let's see how many Kansas jokes this post encourages .... :D
