P.S.: I would have said Zurich, but I guess there wouldn't be much enthusiasm for a MuesliCon :)
I know a great place in Montepulciano - beautiful views to boot. But the town closes down at about 10pm so we'd have to provide our own entertainment and bring our own spirits.
I'm all for travelling and sampling different locations. I can't afford London (though I'm going) so what's the difference if it's London, Lisbon, or Queensland?
Also having a large membership base in the UK and having a host a city/country that's main language is spoken fluently by virtually all members probably factors in as well..
>smog is not that great.
Smog outside will be the least of your lung's worries. Wait until you spend 3 or 4 days with this group of chain-smokers.

...and I prefer German beer and Italian wine to English ale.
Well, your hide will be smoked clean through after pubcon. There will be enough second-hand nicotine in your bloodstream to carry you for a few months.
I am going to give up smoking after pubcon though
Shak
Shak, if you succeeded doing this, tell me how.
Do I have to attend PubCon in order to quit?

PEASANT!

with such a beautiful summer
PEASANT!
Well, if peasants get to drink Italian wine, I don't mind being one :).
london has had the hottest weather ever on record
Of course, Sinner_G, the Tirol is slapbang in the middle of all your candidates....
another disadvantage of London is that there is no place to go and swim to cool down. No lake, no sea, just a dump some call a river
Don't knock the Thames. Benjamin Franklin used to swim in it.
There's Hyde Park, lots of swimming pools and as the old saying goes you can't hit sixes anywhere in the UK as the ball falls in the sea... so lots of seaside resorts. Come and visit me in sunny Southend.
(Somebody else explain about "hitting sixes" please :-))
The word on the street is that this week the temperature in London is going to reach - I'll make a concession here and speak in American to save some translation - 100 degrees F! :-)

speak in American
Is that North America, Central America, or South America? If North America, I presume you're referring to the United States since Canada is on the metric system?
If only I could speak in European or Asian. :)

I didn't know that Canada is on metric. I just know that they drive on the wrong side of the road. If they are now on metric hopefully they'll amend their other ways ;-)

speak in American
When I was in the UK, everyone was speaking in Fahrenheit and miles and gallons and (lots of) pints... Made me feel right at home, even though the gallons and pints are different sizes than the US versions. ;)
Even though everyone was on the wrong side of the road, that one detail is easier to cope with than (I'd imagine) Europe where they reportedly drive on the correct side of the road, but do everything in metrics and celcius.
I'm spending more time over there this year, so I'll have to report back whether it's easier to adjust to England or Belguim.
The downside is, american beer will never taste the same again and our elevators just don't have the same flare.
...lift going up!

Have a BiergartenCon and you will know what real beer is supposed to taste like ;).
Amen to that. Have totally lost the taste for warm weak flat dishwater...;)

That's against the law! Sticky me for a list of government authorities you can report them to.

Apples and oranges, to-may-to/to-mah-to, etc.
