I believe that is the week AFTER Easter, yes?
It is the weekend of the Swinger's Ball, which I would otherwise be wanting to attend. But I've missed this "can't miss" event before, so if it is the time that is best for everyone else, then I'm still in! Unless, of course, you all want to go to Southwest Suburban Chicago on Saturday night as part of the event. Then I can do both.

As far as what would I like to see, well what else is being thought of?
I do like the concept of a "get together" versus what is typically thought of as a "convention." I think that the most we can get out of this is a sharing experience. Certainly, I'd be happy to see some classes, if instructors are available either from among us or outside the online group. But I'd ultimately like to focus more on some open time or only semi structured periods for "getting together" to work on stuff of our liking. So, for instance, maybe there could be balloon/magic/facepainting/juggling (or whatever else one likes) jams. We might want to put on our faces and help each other with improving makeup. Perhaps a few would like to show a new piece that they've been working on for their show to see how it carries before an audience. Or maybe someone wants constructive critique of their whatever. There might be a few fun group activities (like improv or running the balloon gamut) which we could do. I think that a little outing would be cool for afternoon touring or evening entertainment. But basically, I'd like to see it be a chance for us to enjoy a weekend together and learn from each other while having lots of enjoyable fun.
