I think we should.  In a sense, all of us community members will be
ponying up $10-15 apiece (in food costs) to ensure that more of our
fellow contributors can show up.  I'm not opposed to this in the
least.

I'm going to blog about it, let it simmer over the weekend, and if we
don't hear wailing and gnashing of teeth by Monday, we'll call it and
start making more travel plans.  Sound good?
