San Francisco would be awesome! My only concern would be that it might be prohibitively expensive for some to get to. I don't know - maybe there are cheap fares from all the major cities even on the East coast. Of course if any of our European members, or Japanese members wanted to come, everywhere would be expensive. I would love to be able to meet Kozaburo, shake his hand, and say thanks (!!!!) for all he's given to the community. And you too, of course! [grin] @Lillian One question that might be worth asking is, "how much notice would you need to be able to plan on (and save up money for) attending?" That could easily affect the timing and the number of attendees.

Before they made me they broke the mold!
