Amusingly, just about everyone wants it held as close to them as possible! Realistically, San Francisco or south of it a bit make the most sense geographically. I suppose one could make the argument that Seattle makes the most sense for playing with (...) (23 years ago, 16-Jul-01, to lugnet.events)
