but why in the hell would a YOUTH RELIGIOUS convention choose the home of booze and strippers?


1) Because these groups love the chance to evangelize

2) Because these groups are big on community service. Many of them came after Katrina to help and gosh knows we still need it.

3) Because it's hot as Hades here, and there aren't any major conventions in town. The hotels and the meeting places give them great deals just to fill up space.

Also because there are very few cities that meet the criteria this group needs:

1. Large convention type spaces
2. Large arena for 25,000+
3. Enough hotel rooms within walking distance to both of the above.

For a while the only two cities that met all the criteria were NO and Orlando so the convention bounced between those two cities. 3 years ago it was in San Antonio but some kids had to be bussed in from hotels.

Mainstream Lutherans aren't evangelical. I think there are a couple sects of Lutherans though.
