OK, I'll go out on a limb and raise ya:

Why not have it in NYC the same weekend as the Mermaid Parade
http://www.coneyisland.com/mermaid.shtml

Hell, the LUG could even have its own contingent in the parade.  Since the
pictures I shot of last year's parade
http://tinyurl.com/2pzusx

garnered so much interest from the LUG, we might as well build our
convention around NYC's ultimate photo-opp.
