Mike Berkus is on the Board of Directors of the committee that organizes The National. He is a registered member here (MBerkus), although he reads and posts infrequently. I'm sure if someone took the time to PM him, he'd be glad to come on and discuss San Diego, as well as other options. You can find him through "Member List" in the "Community" tab.
Last year at this time, he did exactly that. Unfortunately, one rude member took to some name calling (couldn't understand why they never considered Nashville, or some such nonsense.) If he does agree to talk, let's try to keep it polite. (I know. I know. Pot, meet kettle.)
I mention this because he is able to offer insight as to why certain cities will never work. I know that I learned about the union rules at the Javitz Center in NYC through his posts. Those rules would increase the cost of every booth by over $2400.
