It is frankly shocking to me how many conference and convention
announcements mention all kinds of interesting stuff about what they'll
do, what they're about, how great it is to register now instead of later
to get a discount (or to get in free), and so on -- and never once
mention where they take place.  Then, when one goes to the Website, one
still has to hunt around, and *might* find an indication of the location,
but it sure as hell isn't on the main page along with the when, what, and
how much.

For those who have not already done the work, I'll make it easy for you:

    PG Day 2011 is being held in Denver, CO at Auraria Campus.
    900 Auraria Parkway, Denver, CO 80204

found at http://pgday.consistentstate.com/node/2

At least PG Day has a menu item named "Location".  That's more than I can
say for *some* conferences.  I have literally spent twenty minutes
hunting down the location for a conference on a couple of occasions
because I thought it sounded interesting before finding out it was in
Bangalore or Rotterdam or something like that.  This one, I think I'll
attend.

Thanks for the announcement.  It sounds like fun, and I'll do what I can
to make sure I can get to the event.  Next time, please mention the
location in the announcement -- at least mention it's in Denver, and not
in Canada or Florida or Sydney, Australia.

Thanks.
