I really like the location idea, because of the potential to say "There are X other LW members within Y miles of you" or "There are Z other LW members in your metropolitan area." If you see "wow, there are 100 members in [City]? If only 10% of us show up, that's still a pretty nice group!" then you're much more likely to start / have an interest in a meetup than if you're just pinging empty space.
And, if you get people to join, seeing that number go up might be rather useful feedback.
Also, you don't even need people to manually enter their locations. IP addresses are usually enough to narrow your location down to a city or metropolitan area, and we wouldn't need much higher resolution than that.
