but given that (as I've heard it) the Park Plaza broke their contract with Arisia in order to land a more lucrative, better profile event, I would think that we wouldn't want to go back there.
Perhaps. The rumor I heard (no idea if it was true) was that some other Con-like-object had messed the place up, and they decided that they didn't want Cons there. Wouldn't be surprising if that was true, nor the first time that's happened to us -- these things seem to come in cycles, and we just have to roll with it.
I'm hoping that Arisia isn't planning to return to either venue in the future, but instead goes somewhere else altogether.
Possible. But as we've seen in the past, there aren't all that many venues that are (a) the right size for a distinctly middling convention, and (b) not so stuffy as to freak out. My suspicion is that options are limited...
