As for a site for the 2018 convention, I still think we should look at just doing a weekend cruise out of Miami, etc., and arrange for our meetings and socials etc. with the cruise line. The costs would probably be less then at a hotel, and it would not only be more interesting but allow for better socializing with fellow libertarians. I suspect a number of us might bring family along which might also get them interested in politics. it would be a real Libertarian weekend.
Why not try something different for a change?

Subject: Re: [Lnc-business] February LNC Meeting The LNC would not be petitioning. I'm expecting to have enough signature before then. Some LNC might help with a publicity event on Friday or Monday if the signatures are ready to turn in. Other press opportunities might exist.
I'm fine meeting anywhere.
My usual first place choices for every meeting are New Orleans (close to my parents & great food), Las Vegas (fun), or DC (I don't have to pack). I was very pleasantly surprised with how nice Phoenix was last March. Loved the hotel. So, if you are worried that I'm pushing too hard for OKC, it's for the great prices and new LP activity there, not for me personally, although I have many relatives in Oklahoma.
I was previously pushing to combine it with training in San Francisco or L.A., but could not get consensus. I'd be fine with Washington state, personally, but it seems like a long long way to fly for most people. Wes Benedict, Executive Director

Regarding OKC, is there an actual expectation that the LNC would be out petitioning instead of meeting? Did I just misunderstand that or possibly read into it incorrectly? On Wed, Dec 23, 2015 at 2:48 PM, Wes Benedict <wes.benedict at lp.org> wrote:
My quick checks show New Orleans, OKC, and Phoenix all have reasonably good airfares for February 19-21. Wes Benedict, Executive Director

I would advocate Phoenix over New Orleans.
* PHX is easy and generally cheap to fly into
* Phoenix itself is easy to get around
* Car rentals tend to be super cheap in Phoenix
* The city is specifically setup for business conferences
* We have two potential sites to visit there* While it's not entirely west coast, it does address that imbalance to other members (a little at least)-Kevin On Wed, Dec 23, 2015 at 2:38 PM, Wes Benedict <wes.benedict at lp.org> wrote:

That would be the least expensive LNC meeting in a long time. We could sign a deal right away if you'd like.
Helms Briscoe says they don't expect proposals the week of Christmas. So, we can wait to see what comes up with Helms Briscoe later, and compare those to the OKC options, or go with OKC now.

Since we don't yet have a plan for a February meeting location, I just emailed our 2018 site search agent asking her to find out if any of the short-list options might have available space for the Feb 20 weekend. (Cities are: Atlantic City, NJ; New Orleans, LA; Phoenix, AZ; Bellevue, WA) I indicated that time is of the essence, so they should send us their offers quickly if they're available.

Subject: Re: [Lnc-business] February LNC MeetingSam, at least as of a week ago I don't think staff has been asked to
research any locations. Copying Robert to verify. I proposed San Francisco
recently but got zero interest from the LNC.
I found a great place in Oklahoma City for $79 per night if you all are
interested. Best Western Saddleback. Nice meeting space and free breakfast.
Southwest Airlines doesn't charge change fees if you need to change your
flight. I flew into the ice storm Saturday after Thanksgiving and the people
there didn't seem to panic even with downed power lines and trees
everywhere. Was nice to be able to change flight just in case though
