Re: 2012 GTG FINAL ROUND!!
I finally voted! I kept missing the other votes. It was a tough call.
I just keep thinking about how expensive everything is in NY - hotel, food, taxi, etc. While it might be less expensive to fly into NYC, everything else will be so much more expensive. I voted for Texas (because I want to go to Austin), but Nashville would be super fun too!
PS - I act like I'm going. I still have no idea if I'm going - it all depends on when it is and how things are going here.
After 7 years trying to concieve, 3 failed IUIs and 2 failed IVFs, my third IVF was a success!
My Christmas baby turned into a turkey bird! Dillon Richard was born at 34 weeks, 5 days on November 28, 2009 after 10 weeks on bedrest for preeclampsia.

Exactly. But there is the subway (although i admit I'm not too comfortable on them since I have no clue how to navigate them) instead of the taxi.
BTW- Asheville is an East Coast city
.
Ditto on how expensive NYC is (and difficult to get around with LOs/parking/etc.). Plus, it was on the East Coast last year and due to just general population density (particularly this board) it could always end up on the east coast (not a criticism of the voting choices, though, Dana!). Oh well! I'll try and go wherever wins, just my two cents.
Can I just be blunt and say that I will be totally bummed if NYC wins? I just can't travel that far with my kids right now, and I was really counting on the get together FINALLY being in a southern city.
I've never been to Nashville or for that matter, to hardly any cities in the south. I would love to explore a new place!
Me three (although I will go anyways and it's probably easier for me to go to NYC, but I'll be bummed because I would SO rather go one of the other two locations). There is always the option of doing 2 locations, we've tossed it around other years (and I think there was a small NYC GTG the year of the Chicago one for just this reason, wasn't there)?
I could wear my new Yankee jersey if I come to Boston.

You are exactly right. There was a small NYC GTG in 2010. I know cause I went. So I really do think that the GTG should be more south. Besides I've seen NYC a million times, I want to go someplace new.
Well, I waited too long to post in the other thread... Anyway, here's my two cents.
We've been saying for a long time that we'd do one in the south (and both of the top vote getters -- TX and Nashville -- kind of fit that description), so I think it should be one of these top two. Last year was east coast. There will always be a lot of support for east coast cities just because of population density. Taking the previous top two vote getters seems reasonable from all angles, IMO.
There was even a mini-gtg in NYC last year in addition to the big DC gtg. I'm sorry, but I don't think it's reasonable to have it on the east coast.
ETA: Okay, reading posts above mine, I guess the NYC gtg was the year before last. Anyway... It's still true that everyone agreed it would be in the south this year. Let's be fair, ladies! (And hello, I'm not even in the south! Though admittedly, I do have family there.)
Jinx! Great minds think alike.
I completely agree with this. East coast always wins. Oh well.
I don't think the bump allows you to do that unfortunately.
After two losses, third time was a charm.

oh geez, the pressure! If a math whiz can recalculate percentages after all the votes are in, by switching one NYC vote to Nashville, that would be super. I think it would be a fun city to visit.

Make a pregnancy ticker
This! And really fun bars if we want a girls' night out activity!

I'm bored at work and keep refreshing to see how the voting is going. Now I'm going to see how far a drive it is from SC to Nashville.
flying from my airport in VA to Nashville is around $335 right now on Delta.
I forgot - what dates were we talking about? June-ish?
LOL when I was in Boston last month DH had on Yankees shirt, I had on Giants one, and Brady had Giants on too! We didn't do on it purpose but in the waiting room at Children's some guy kept giving us dirty looks and he finally said something about being bold wearing that "crap" in the Patriots/Red Sox area!
The city that gets the most votes between Nashville and Texas should have a GTG regardless of whether NYC/East Coast gets a tonne of votes. If there are like 20 people who want to get together in a southern city...then I think it should happen!
I have no idea whether I will be able to go or not this year...probably not...we need a new roof:( Time to start buying lottery tickets?

I agree with skimmy - not everyone is going to be happy. I am only voting east coast because the only place I can afford is the place where I live - so even if east coast wins there is no garuntee I could go. But I would be happy to help plan if Boston does make it to the top.
Anyhoo - just because one place wins over another, doesn't mean a seperate more local gtg can't be planned for the "losing" city/state

Memphis BBQ can't compete with our Texas BBQ! Go Texas!
TTC#2=July 2011: Surprise BFP: Chemical Pregnancy
Ha!
If Nashville wins I will go- I would much rather be in Nashville then NYC, we do NYC every Sept for the US Open- and it's fun- but it's too busy for me- I think it would be fun to hang out- drink beer and have good BBQ, and rock out to some good country music in Nashville.
I was biting my tongue, but I agree with you!
If no one else agrees with me, I completely understand, but does anyone else feel like we should really do a vote of the final two? I feel like a third option might be splitting the vote a bit -- I always feel like any final decision should be made with just the final two options. But, that is just me -- I will go along with what everyone else thinks.
Dana, you're doing a great job!
