Or find a spot with a reasonable hostel or two nearby? I don't think
we're the type of crowd that requires 5-star hotels. (I don't, anyway,
and what I save on the hotel would likely cover my airfare.) Naturally
this assumes we can hijack meeting space from a university or other
donor, which rules out the islands I assume.

Given travel costs, an extra $50 would be noise (though I
would support a two-tier structure like $50 for students
and $100 for non-).

But the first week of December will continue to be impossible
for me. First week of *October*, though...

I'd like to vote for October too. December is dangerously close to
finals/thesis deadlines for a lot of students.
