LOL Madisonville? The only problem is our airport will only handle Piper Cubs. Don't want to keep those who might fly in away if possible. Of course, you could smoke all you want in this state lol.
There was some talk of bringing it a little farther south at the convention and St Louis and Indianapolis were mentioned as having main hubs airports. Beth was gonna check out some hotels in and around St Louis and someone else was gonna check Indianpolis. Both would make it a little bit more mid country.

Finally found this thread! LOL

I did some calling around and many of the hotels in St. Louis have adopted a no smoking policy. I spoke to the Drury Inn and they do have a floor of smoking rooms, but no smoking in the hotel lobby or bar. The onsite resataurant bar does allow smoking. The rates were reasonable, $99.00 for king and $109.00 for two doubles, plus lots of freebies.

January weather in St. Louis is unpredictable.......you never know. We have had the odd warm days, but mostly it is around 35-40 outside.

Has anyone heard anything about other locations?

Okay, call me sentimental but I would hate to see Davcon moved. I would also hate not being able to go to Sneaky Pete's for a yummy steak dinner.

Here in Delaware we have not been able to smoke inside public places for over 10 years and you really do get used to it. It's also nice going home after being out for the evening and not smelling like an ashtray.

My vote is to keep Davcon at the Steeplegate forever!!!

Personally, I don't mind stepping out for a smoke, but can you imagine between 30 to 50 CH'ers all standing outside smoking at once? That would be a site to behold, especially in freezing weather, or below zero like last year.

And Guiseppi, my friend, I saw you when you came in from the cold in that light jacket with a t-shirt underneath. You were COLD! If you come this year, PLEASE invest in some long underwear, and a coat. Otherwise, the place will need a fireplace, and we'll need to thaw you out in front of it. Wink

That's exactly what happens at the conventions.

And Guiseppi....I warned you last year in plenty of time to buy a coat for cripes sake, even if you only use it once a year for Davcon. Californians are such weather wimps. Grin

You might even be able to use your new coat/parka if you come to Milwaukee for the World Series in October.

Baby - I warned and warned and warned you!!!! You DID heed my warning about the blue jeans and where your nads would disappear to, but when we picked you up at the airport in a JEAN JACKET IN JANUARY in IOWA, I knew you'd have to learn the hard way. . . .

It was kind of fun watching you trying to take a deep breath at -2 degrees! Grin

They have been so accomodating so far. And we have a history there. Lets just get a block of rooms reserved and be done with it all.
