I have the longest flight of all you bastards and I've came to the last few across the pond so no complaining.
This next one I'd love to go to also assuming work things don't change. I don't personally care where it is because I go for the experience of hanging with lots of idiots. I've never been to any of the places so for me it's all new either way. Yes some will be more expensive vs. others but such is life. Got months to save up and it comes every year so if you can't make this year now start saving so you can next year!
No perfect place will make everyone happy. It's just like playing a game. We all hate some maps or people over others, yet we keep playing haha.
And as some have said, we can have mini fests at other places always!
