My Location Guesses
1.)EPCOT - it was just awsome to be there... seemed fitting somehow that this big push of math and science was happening at the site where people go to see math and science. [heard from someone that they were/are interested in getting us back down there.]
2.)Indianapolis - was there for NCYC a few years ago... they have PLENTY of space in the convention center for the pits and confrences... and it is attached to the RCA dome [spectators would not have to go outside] Also has some large hotels right nearby... not sure about the resteraunt situation though... as we ate many meals in at the hotel as a diocese. Did walk to the hard rock one night though. Centralized location.
3.)Atlanta - It is a wonderful location... but i did not feel that comfortable walking around. Even just over to the Underground. I also do not know much else to do down there that we have not already done.
Location Wish List
1.)EPCOT [I think you know where i want to be.]
2.)Washington DC [They have to have the space somewhere... would be a nice trip for international teams... plenty of free/safe things to do {ie-smithsonian museums} also would bring the program closer to the government... maybe get some funding help to start more teams.]
3.) DEAN'S ISLAND!!!! [It would be kinda snug... we could all bring tents and camp-out. {lots of barges for the pit areas} but hey... wouldn't that be something to talk about.]

I can just see it now: The competition ends and Dean sends evryone home at the end of his speech by command:
"I WANT ALL OF YOU PEOPLE TO GET OFF MY LAWN!"
