Dudebro Convention 2012 Location

[Pete Nice]

I picked New York City and here is why:

1. They just had a Dudebro event in Vegas in December. Would it not be better to rotate the location every six months. DBC in NYC every June and Vegas get together every fall/winter? Who wants to go to Vegas in June? Not me. Who wants to walk all over NYC in the snow and 20 degree weather? Makes sense no? Plus having two straight get togethers in the same location kind of caters to those who are closer to that location (Vegas) and excludes the rest of us.

2. NYC is NOT more expensive than Vegas with the exception of possibly hotel cost. Food prices are the same as Vegas, decent food, not the cheap buffet bullshit. Entertainment costs might actually be less than Vegas. The Vegas shows I went to cost more than the Broadway shows I went to. Hotel is MAYBE 10% more than Vegas for the normal person. People shared rooms and stayed in good hostels in NYC to save money and Eddie and JDubb got great top notch hotels cheap in the general Times Square area by shopping rates. Vegas is VERY fucking expensive when your room is not comped and your company doesn't pay for the hotel and meals. Flight costs are going to be dependent upon your location, so that really is a wash no matter which location.

3. There is no baseball in Vegas. Shit, there are no sports at all.

4. Having outdoor activities in Vegas in June is not possible. I have been to Vegas in June, it is fucking hot as balls.

5. The Covino and Rich show has almost all of it's history and most of it's landmarks in NYC. Everyone wants to see the studio, the fishbowl, Viva Pancho (RIP), Del Frisco's, etc etc etc. You hear the stories on the show all the time about all the guys spots, it helps connect more with the show to be where the things you have heard on the radio are.

I am sure there is more, but that is all I have now.
