If folks are interested in Los Angeles (West Hollywood), I could host here. Our office has a really nice A/V setup and room to seat 30-40 comfortably. LA isn't attractive because everything is spread out. However, there are reasonable and inexpensive accommodations within walking distance. And LA also has the advantage of an easy-to-reach from abroad airport. Of course, it's not exactly pretty here. ;-) -- Christopher Nielsen "They who can give up essential liberty for temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." --Benjamin Franklin "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants." --Thomas Jefferson
