Don't worry about it, if I were you that would have been the only reasonable conclusion I would have come to

What show are you talking about?
What time do they have shows on weekends? Are there afternoon shows? When would we have to clear out, so that they have time to clean up before they let people in?

I forgot to mention that unless it is going to be held during the week (which is unlikely) I can't really help out.

The Other Tim: you've won twice in this thread... though the second time might not have been intentional.

I don't think those two things are mutually exclusive.

What about Boston? And it should definitely be public. Show the world what we are made of!!!

I Think Bostons pretty good, There are a lot of good convention centers, but I have to go with Private, less pressure.

If you are from the area which you recommend, I will probably ignore you.

I think what Tyson was saying is people who just give a city and nothing else. This guy at least gave a location. Tyson, perhaps it would be helpful if you posted what sort of information you're looking for, and what requirements you'll need minimum.

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.

And how exactly do you expect travelers to get there?

Harrisburg International Airport. Or trains.
The trains to and from Harrisburg are fairly nice.

The high school that I'm talking about is ~20 min away from the possible venue, and there are good hotels nearby. I'll do some searching for the best overall throughout the day, but accommodation for ~200 people could happen. Also, if you ask anyone that went to the CV Open, they'd vouch for the huge amount of space in the Cafeteria. On an average day at school, ~600 kids eat lunch there daily, and if that still would be too small, we have larger spaces yet such as a very large auditorium with a projector that we could use.

Also, I know that this may sound like one of those "omg, liek my skool is realy big and you guyz should haev the comp here" things, but from a logical aspect, it's a good location.

There are food sources really close by (Wegmans/Giant), hotels (again, looking over these today), and a good deal of cubers relatively close.


Also, if you're looking at this from a 'How much will it cost for the WCA' prospective, I do know one thing about my school that we could very much use to our advantage. They are over-run with pride. If we somehow convinced them that this would bring a lot of media attention, or show how their students are not only physically adept (our school has rather good sports teams, from what I hear), but also mentally, they would jump on this in a heartbeat, and would lower costs.


Edit:
Also, it's 20 miles away from a Cici's and 30 from Chipolte

 

[Mike Hughey]

While I agree with the comments Dan and others had about the negatives of using a private location, I thought I should mention that my wife really appreciated how safe it seemed for the kids at Stanford. It's hard to imagine an environment that would feel safer than that did. I consider that a real plus for a well-chosen private location. But I guess I'm okay with it either way; we just have to be more vigilant in a more public location. Just try to make it feel safer than the Underground, anyway.

As for a location, I would like to add my vote to New York City. It's much easier to justify these trips when we can see a new part of the country and make a nice family trip of it, and my family has never been to New York. Of course that means I have absolutely nothing useful to offer in the way of a venue.

I agree, Mike. At times I left my laptop plugged in in the corner of the auditorium with no problem. There were already a few plugged in there. Everyone was very respectful about people's property, from what I saw.
