[Who's Wee Dug]

Just found this on Twitter for 2013 NADWCON

My choice would be Phoenix again or Boston as 2nd choice.

I think you mean NADWCon in the title there, you really confused me this morning, I haven't had my coffee yet

I thought it might wake some one up.

Jeff's gonna have to think of a really good excuse not to go this time if Boston gets it

Actually I've always wanted to go to Boston so I might shell out for a cheapo flight if it gets it

Latest update it's between B and B.

I always felt pretty much the same way about Boston so I could be tempted as well. Rather than fly though, I wouldn't mind making a full holiday of it and take a cruise there instead.

I was in Boston in 2004 at the Worldcon Terry was a GOH. nice clean city.

That sounds like a bloody good idea

To be honest, I don't like flying that much. I find it too cramped, restrictive, and rushed. With a short break cruise there, you get pampered and well fed for a couple of days.

 

[Bouncy Castle]

It would be more than a couple of days from Worthing to Boston though, eh?

 

[Penfold]

Possibly, but since the idea is to make a complete holiday of it, time doesn't matter too much. (The price might though )

 

[Bouncy Castle]

There ya go!!

There is a chance I could go in 2013 and it would have to be East coast so I really don't mind if its B or B. I think I'd prefer B.

Would like to catch a live NFL game but seeing as the Con will be middle of the year, thats that dream out of the window

 

[Bouncy Castle]

Go for an entire year. Simples!!

 

[Who's Wee Dug]

I hope it's not too close to the Worldcon, as the 2012 one is .

 

[raisindot]

If it's in Boston, I'll be there.

Anyone who comes from Across the Pond I'll take out for a pub crawl. Jan, you might want to take a separate trip to Salem.

 

[Bouncy Castle]

That's rather harsh. Jan's not a witch.

 

[raisindot]

Jan would make a FABULOUS witch.

 

[Jan Van Quirm]

I've been called worse - like a B*itch... :twisted:

Salem's sort of interesting I suppose - for some odd reason I've a hankering to go up Mount Washington if they have a suitable conveyance (another of my literary Holy Grails courtesy of Julian May's Saga of the Exiles )

Baltimore is just in front at the Mo.

North American Discworld Convention 2013 asked: So, which city are you rooting for in 2013?


Baltimore
49 votes o 49 people


Boston
36 votes o 36 people
