Brooke,
As you mentioned somewhere in this thread, I think it would be lovely to have everyone come to my lovely little home town of Petaluma, CA. We have a small Sheraton Convention Center space that would accommodate everyone and they'd love to have us. There's also a retreat space, Walker Ranch, that might work (but I haven't checked that one out for KohaCon).
We have lots of great places to eat, a music venue, and its small and manageable. One hour from both Oakland and SF airports with a direct shuttle available to get here. Not really any public transportation once you get here though.... And the only places to stay are the Sheraton and the Metro and a Motel 6 or something. Although by 2014, there may be another hotel that is in the work which should be very cool.
Here's a nice page about Petaluma: http://www.visitpetaluma.com/ West Coast ++ Near SF? Sounds good to me. :) Bob
