It helps to check before making a statement.  Fwiw, Hyatt Regency
O'Hare[0] and Crowne Plaza Chicago O'Hare dont sound like the same
hotel being used to hold pycons twice in Chicago.

So are you against the twice in a city suggestion or against it just
because the US does it and we should not follow them or some other
reason?

I agree that at this point in time we should have fixed the city, and
maybe looking at sponsors, etc... but , there was not much response
from Chennai team nor comments on the problems they faced.

There were other mails on the same subject so feel free to look into
the archives. There was another thread which discussed venues in
chennai and then it died till Noufal pinged folks again.
