If you're in LAS, you should be taking the three hour detour south to stop by my place. I don't cook anything, but I'll be happy to take you out for some great Mexican and/or for a tour of our local brewpubs and vineyards (yes, even in dusty and dry central AZ we do have vineyards).

As for the solstice - I will be there - just debating on which airline I arrive (AS, AA, or US are options). I'll even be bringing wine along so that you all can further educate me.

I'm trying to convince others to go as well, but flights are not exactly inexpensive, so it's going to take more effort on my part...
