NYC is pretty awesome. But friggin' hot in the summer. I can't believe that it's year 10.. but HeavyRebel is in Winston Salem and is was fun 10 years ago when I went to the first one... but I think North Carolina is pretty fuckin' fun in general. It kind of depends what you want to do... New England in the summer is beautiful.. like Maine... The lakes... the loons. Stay away from Florida in the summer. It's miserable.
PS- July birthdays are the best
