Well, you would say that!
It is a nice place, none the less. I was last there 2 years ago. I do think summer is a nicer time to visit than winter.
Maybe it's not as pretty here as it is in Venice, but it is a lot drier, even though we've got a winding river and a gigantic (some would say Great) lake. We also have friendly and hospitable natives, fabulous museums and galleries, some cool theaters, nifty architecture,
When I was there, I spent some time photographing Frank Lloyd Wright's old houses and Mies Van Der Rohe's buildings.
lots of nice places to eat, and even several colleges that might welcome a guest lecturer on the topics of electronic music and graphic design if one wanted to extend a quick jaunt to a proper stay -- I'm just sayin' . . . :p
College radio was where Ultravox got a lot of airplay back then.
Do we know where they toured in '79?
Chicago. It's kind of hard to miss it right now on Google Maps, what with me making a fool of myself waving frantically at the satellite cameras. 
Chicago. Please take note, Messrs. Foxx and Gordon.
But I would probably be willing to travel to any city in the continental US if Chicago once again were to be overlooked . . . 
I'm either thinking some of the big towns like New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Or one venue over a few nights and let fans fly in.
Las Vegas is perfect for that. Might be hard to find a decent venue outside the hotel casinos though. Small venues you can find everywhere but hotels become a slight problem. You'd need someone to organise group bookings and that requires commitments.
For a winter concert, you can't beat San Diego or Florida.
You caught my attention with this one, Rob.
