US Nationals 2010

[Bryan]

It's way too big. The venue this year was a fraction of that and was still pretty empty. That might be an okay venue for something like Worlds, but its way way too much for a competition with 200 people. One of the meeting rooms might be the right size, but an auditorium or something would be much better.

What if like it was a public competition and a lot of people who don't cube were watching it? It might be a good venue for a public competition.

A private competition doesn't mean only cubers are allowed in, it means that unless you go there for the purpose of seeing the competition, you're not going to see the competition.

I think dc is pretty good. we might get on national tv because of the area

What about a NYC broadway theatre? The stage has a decent amount of room, and plenty of spectator room. NY has plenty of hotels and resturaunts.

I may have a few strings I can pull to get us the venue

*facepalm*

Broadway is a street, not a theater. There are many different theaters on Broadway. All of NYC's many restaurants cost a lot more than they do here in Chicago (though i'm not saying that it should be in Chicago again). When I went to NYC over spring break, my dad was not pleased with how much money the restaurants cost him.

Yes, that's why he called it "a NYC broadway theatre" instead of "the NYC broadway theatre". He's explaining it very well.

Yes, NYC costs a bit more than other places, but it's not like you're getting lobster dinners every night. Besides, Nationals is a bit of a vacation for people.

As I was typing that, i thought that he might have typed that instead.. and I was too stupid to realize that when you quote someone, it appears right above what you're typing in the post... I'm an idiot.

Sorry for being an idiot and facepalming myself for no reason, jcuber. Because I fell bad about it, I'm not going to edit my post and let everyone see how stupid I am.

Wouldn't that negate the argument against medium sized cities because the flights are more expensive? You are going to gain money or lose money in one place or another, wether it be flight or living cost.

I think NY, DC, and Chicago all sound like fabulous ideas.

Medium sized cities aren't necessarily expensive to fly into. Cincinnati is quite a few times the size of Dayton, but Dayton is quite a bit cheaper to fly into. Based on the times I've flown, SJC is just about as cheap to fly into as SFO. HOU is cheaper than IAH, while HOU is much smaller. The airlines operating at an airport play into cost quite a bit.

That's why you go to Village Gourmet for dinner.

I realize that, I was refering to the quote below.

I dont know i figured its a big place and thought it would be a good idea and you never know they might let you rent it but who knows how much for the cost...but i like the idea of rochester

Too expensive to fly to.

Find me a NYC Broadway Theater for three complete days for free, and then we'll talk. Each one of these shows pulls in... maybe $30k a day in revenue! I simply don't really believe it.

Columbia University or Hunter College would be a better bet for NYC. Or The New School... or even Julliard.

I can talk to CUNY, but they didn't seem cooperative in the past. I don't think being an alum will make it any better.

I'm guessing a highschool wouldn't be big enough?
Cumberland Valley HS could work. And I could get it...cheap.
I got 1 day for free for the CV Open 2009.

 

[masterofthebass]

Cumberland Valley is in the middle of nowhere. It probably is big enough, but there's no access to it other than the rinky dink Harrisburg airport.

 

[Bryan]

It'd have to be a pretty small school if it couldn't handle Nationals. The high school I went to was in a small town and it had an auditorium that could hold 500 people easily.

And how exactly do you expect travelers to get there?

I may be able to do that, but the problem is we will have to bring everything to our hotels, as they have to do a show every night.

If we're not there, they don't have to do anything for the next show besides clean. If we are there, they'll have to clean-up, setup their stuff, perform, and teardown their stuff so we can put ours up the next day. I can't see how they would agree to do that extra work for free.

True... you don't strike the set until the show is finished. I don't see anyone being that accommodating.

The stage that is there is clear before/after the shows, because of the way the set is designed.

jcuber:

You boys with the Theatre's owner or somethin'? Ya'll like.. kick it nightly over a couple (root) beers and maybe.. throw down some dominos or, you know, play a couple hands of poker?

Don't hate! I'm just sayin'...

How is it you can pull this off?
