I doubt strongly that it will happen this year. If and when I do start
doing the actual work on this, I will be asking for input from people
who have said that they might want to go. There's no reason not to plan
it for the convenience of as many people as possible.

Either or both would be great with me. But first, of course, I would
like to do it one time. If it works, and I don't lose any money, and
I don't see why it shouldn't be an every-so-often event.

Please, if you want to do the same thing doing in Chicago sometime,
I think it would be great. If this is successful, I think that people
will be doing it all over.
