That's what I was thinking...making it widely known that there is the
op****tunity, and if somebody wants to head something up, it's
available. First come/first served and the fewer interested, the more
time you have.
For instance, I'm looking at doing something booze related at
C14...perhaps multiple (Tiki-drink mix-off, Scotch tasting, Absinthe
tasting, etc.). Hmmm...I wonder if you can _rent_ blenders?

Depending on the atmosphere, that could actually go 4 hours with a mid-
way intermission...this past one definitely could (IMHO) as it was
towards the end where I think a collective understanding was being
approached.
I have to say that I believe the 11th hour addition of Siobhan and
Eilis to the panel averted much bloodshed :)
