While I could happily live without ever going to Florida and would much prefer to go to New Orleans or Vancouver, I have a lot of faith in Rafe, Angelsil & One Bob's ability to put together an event, their bid is much more geared to the net.goth gathering than goth music festival side of the equation, which is what I go to Convergencefor.
Vancouver would be cool, but it's been on the west coast 2 of the last 3 years which means a lot of people won't show up.
The chair of the New Orleans bid was part of the San Diego bid, which was the least successful Convergence so far, except for the clusterfucks that were New York and San Francisco, and Heather Spear (C1 & C5) isn't willing to associate her name with the bid, although she is "advising" him.
Tampa is only about half a days drive from NOLA, so going to Tampa for CXII and spending a couple of days in New Orleans is entirely viable.
