Well, given our previous track record, if there's enough time for
preparation, we're quite likely to be willing, and possibly even able,
to go anywhere where's a lot of conlangers. I mean, even if the venue
is New Zealand, we'd be pretty likely to try to come. They say travel
enlarges the mind ;-). Not that we wouldn't love having all conlangers
under our new roof!
