(Similarly, late October tends to be bad because it overlaps with both my wedding anniversary and my wife's birthday -- and while she was a good shelia and shared our honeymoon with IWP9 Madrid, I don't think I can pull that many more favors). I am willing to host here in Austin, TX -- we have a classroom that seats somewhere between 50-75 that I can use, although getting everybody through security can be a bit of a pain. Downside is that Austin doesn't tend to be an international hub, so its more of a pain to get to flight wise -- doesn't seem we have any lack of volunteers to host this year anyways, but I figured I'd put it out there for the future. -eric
