Location:

Canada. Where in Canada? Ontario. Right down to Toronto. I've always been saying come to Toronto. Why? Simple.

1. American dollar is worth more then the Canadian. It's cheaper for Americans to travel here. Thus, for the Canadians it's less expensive then going to America.

2. Easier for Americans to come into Canada vs. Canadians trying to get into America.

3. Toronto is a city of 3 million. Lots to do. I know the city very well since I live here. Crap loads of activities to do. Anything you can think of they probably have here. Theme park? Yup, movies, malls, sports, Hockey Hall of Fame, CN Tower, Downtown Toronto, bars, clubs, etc. etc. Travel around the city is simple with public transit (TTC) the subway system. Because I'm from Toronto I can take everyone around and make sure no goes to the "bad" areas or whatever.

Also, as for activities and having an LAN in Toronto. That's easy we could all go to one of the many cyber cafes or just everyone bring laptops and I can set up a LAN at my place no problem. I already have 3 coms that can run jj2 no problem. My router will hold wireless connections and wired. If we have too many wired I have a switch I can link to the router for another 5 ports.

Why would I rather it be here? Probably because I won't be able to go unless it's in my city. I have to work all summer and getting enough time off isn't really an option. Working around my work scheduale is more likely. Plus, I think I am doing summer school again this summer.

So for me personally Toronto is better. If it's not in the Toronto the chances of me being able to go are pretty slim, but keep me posted because I may be able to make it.

Month:

Meh, doesn't matter at this point. I will be working I just don't know how much and when. So probably mid-summer or end of Aug. It's all the same to me.

Days:

Again probably weekends again.. I don't know too far into the future to really know a work/school schedual right now.

Activities:

Get drunk. I mean see what I wrote in location.

Funds:

I am a university student. I am poor. Having the thing in Toronto means I can afford it. Having out of Toronto means I probably can't. The costs I am worried about are travel and hotel. The other costs like buying beer. Not a problem.
