I'd have to agree about the central location. Have you thought about
Indianapolis as the site? Granted, I'm rather biased, but it is centrally
located and 7 interstate routes run out from it (I65NS, I70EW, I74EW, I69N).
It has an international airport.
It's (driving the speed limit ;-) ...
~4 hours from Chicago, IL
~11 hours from Atlanta, GA
~20 hours from Jacksonville, FL
~10 hours from Minneapolis/St. Paul
~15 hours from Richmond, VA
~6 hours from St. Louis, MO
This leaves the PNLTC and BAYLUG people with quite a haul to get here, but
most the other clubs could road trip it in about a day.
Anyway, my $.02 worth.
