...ok, well it looks like the location is going to be Toronto.
MaGoo: rooting for Toronto
Ducky: probably hoping for Boston, but can accept Toronto
Monolith: unsure, but can accept Toronto
iCeD: siding with Toronto
VeggieMan: Toronto or not at all
Noveh: unsure about either, although Boston might be better
Look, here's the data side-by-side for you:

It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.</div><div style="text-align: right; text-size: 80%;">1 Corinthians 13:4-7</div>
