I can provide one DV camcorder with firewire out and a tripod. I can
also provide a mixer and wireless mics which Clint could use for
streaming if he doesn't want to cart his gear over the border and
back :-)

In Boston, we "taped" two tracks and later converted and uploaded them
using some magic provided by Matt Domsch. Clint streamed and recorded
audio from one session. I'd suggest the same for December -- one audio
stream is pretty light on the network but is enough to provide a way for
people to be engaged in realtime.
