Nah - it gets boring <grin>  There's no real advantage from a speaker's
perspective.  On the down side anyone who doesn't like/can't drive to/can't
afford/etc. a specific location would never go to COMMON.  Remember there's
only going to be one main COMMON conference a year from now on.  The fall
conference will be a smaller "workshop/seminar only" type of event.

Besides - I really dislike Miami.  Horrible airport, ultra sweaty climate,
and in the Spring expensive.  The hotels were (relatively) cheap because
COMMON was there in hurricane season.  Just as a check I just went on-line
to Loews reservation system and they are quoting $399 as the _lowest_ price
for April 15th - 20th.  Don't think that would be a huge hit with attendees.
