I do appreciate those real life limitations that complicate or prevent physical attendance.
I guess travel and distance is a relative thing.
For example I made the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs....
But really it is relative. My butt has been all over this planet and most of it on Sam's nickel. 50 countries.
Trans-oceanics? fuuu---dge....at least in the 80's... by ship about a dozen. The rest by air, none by swimming!
Enjoyed about 11 years living in Japan and about 5 in Italy.
Now relaxed in central Texas.
Travel done on my own nickel often and of course from now on...
EDIT: oh, I guess I could try for the MAC flight space-A thing when I am really old!
But anyway, okay. I can't send you or anyone else a sack of gold. You'll be there in spirit?
And once I nail down the specific dates in October I will branch this off to an e-mail thread and only to those seriously interested.
