I think the meeting will happen -- I already bought tickets, and I 
will be going.

It is a bit of a gamble, sure.  I think it is almost certain that the 
meeting will happen, since I personally know of several other people 
who have committed to go, and, as I said, I have already purchased 
tickets.

Yes, I believe so.  Some of those you specifically mention, and others 
besides.  I am not in a position to announce anything, so I won't say 
any more than that.  I expect that venue and other interesting 
information will go out on the site in the next few days.

I wish I could be more definitive.  All I can say authoritatively is 
that I have already paid my thousand bucks for tickets.
