[QUOTE="WizarDru, post: 1678291, member: 151"] Is it possible he wasn't talking about geography, but culture? As in, Chicago more closely resembles New York or Philly in outlook and attitude than say, Des Moines, Lincoln or Boise? I don't think that'd be the case, though. Look at this [url="http://eire.census.gov/popest/gallery/maps/esDist_t.php"]map of population[/url], not density, instead. Massachusettes has 2.2% of the population of the U.S. That's the same as North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Wyoming, Minnesota, and Idaho combined. New York and Florida are the third and fourth most populated states. If you total NY, NJ, PA, DE, RI, CT and MA...you get a little over 20% of the US population, in a densely packed area, relatively speaking. California, of course, is the most populated state, with 12.1% of the US living right there...all the more reason that GenCon SoCal should be GenCon #2. GenCon numero uno is just fine where it is, of course. I just think it'd be swell if there was more than one...but I understand how that could possibly dilute the vendor and attendee market. I'm just practicing wishful thinking, here. :) [/QUOTE]
