Minnesota DrupalCamp: Hold it in the Summer Instead of the Dead of Winter?

So, we've narrowed in on a couple of possible dates for the Minnesota Drupalcamp, one date in January, one in March. I know this time was basically deemed most convenient by the majority of us, but I wonder if we might not consider pushing the event out to a spring or summer date.

I think there are a few reasons why our current timing is problematic:

1. Regional camps tend to provide an alternative for those who can't attend Drupalcon, typically for reasons of cost. Given that the North American Drupalcon will take place in Chicago right about the time of our camp, that rationale is somewhat diminished. Summer is the time for the European Drupalcons, and not many of us seem to be attending those. So it seems more logical to me to hold ours around that time (not at the same time, obviously).
2. It might simply be nicer for participants and speakers to space our event out from Drupalcon for a variety of reasons.
   • [EDIT] Employers might not fund two related conferences this close together, for example, if we decided to charge a fee.
3. Joking a little bit here, but it IS freaking cold here during the winter, and asking people to go outside for food and/or beer at that time of year is just cruel.
4. Pushing the date out would give us a lot more time to pull together a successful camp. Suddenly, we'll be way ahead of the game.
5. Summer tends to be a slow time around the U (not for me though!), so scheduling locations might be a bit easier.
6. We could still put together our code sprint bus for Drupalcon Chicago even without the camp!

Thoughts?
