I'd LUV to attend, if I can, and my NW PE card won't bar me from entry! Unfortunately, on May 16 I'll be in Berlin (where I am now!). But if whatever date works for me, I'll be there!!

You're keeping the poll open til June 9 - for a May 16 poss date? Does that mean that you're considering a different date - I hope?

As far as accepting the responsibility for hotel and expense stuff, yada yada, OF COURSE!!
