Man, I'm at Chicago this weekend for my first DO ever. And I've only done 2 domestic MRs with same day turns prior to this. So I'm definitely a newbie when it comes to all the fancy stuff. With that said, I don't really know what goes into the planning of a DO... but 'm definitely willing to help with local venue, tour guide, and etc... if this is really going to happen.

P.S: I agree summer in Shanghai is quite unbearable. Very hot and humid, and with the pollution? Oh boy... consider yourself lucky if you can see blue sky.
