There probably should be a 2009 thread, but unless it is 14 months or less away, I am not sure what use it would be. Perhaps start it with a poll for location and or date. You can (or I can) start a thread with a poll allowing multiple choices so a person could pick a location as well as date.
Tentative locations:
Maine
San Francisco
New Orleans
Chicago
Boston
Tentative dates:
June 19-21, 2009
August 21-23, 2009
October 16-18, 2009
Thoughts-or shall I just post a thread with the poll?
