| I was born and raised in Charlotte, NC. It is a beautiful place to visit and live if anyone is considering it. I would love for AAD to be held there. I would even be happy to help with anything in the area. Lots of family and friends there who love to read. | |

| Hmmm... Why all the hot states in August? I know, I know... closer to more people. But I still think Maine would be the perfect August Con spot. | |

| Voted for Charlotte. Would love for AAD to come to Memphis, Tn or even Little Rock, AR. That would be closer to where I live in the middle of nowhere Arkansas.

| I need to explain to you guys how this works..
Hotels are EXPENSIVE and a lot of them wont give us the concessions we want (like free net for all the attendees, cheap rooms, cheap or free parking, Free meeting space, waived bartender fees, etc). We DID get RFP's from TN, and the cheapest hotel they offered was 175$ a night DOUBLE OCCUPANCY... Now that's INSANE (Especially since NOLA is a fucking vacation destination and is only 119$ a night double occupancy). Also, we have to worry about flights as well, and whats close enough for people to fly in.
For 2014, We had RFP's from ATL, Charlotte, Roanoke and TN. ATL and Charlotte were the best for concessions.
