Austin is probably a great place for it to be and I think they've learned from last year's mistakes, so it ought to be better. Anyone interesting in going would probably enjoy it and it would be great to meet people and have some sort of get-together for anyone who wanted to go.
In the olden days of Compuserve I was part of a gardening forum there. We had several get-togethers, including what became a yearly jaunt to NOLA for their spring garden show, that were just wonderful. Our love of gardening brought us together, and our delight in meeting and getting to know each other was just icing on the cake.
When I met B earlier in the year in DC I mentioned that I thought this would be a great thing to do with this group - so many fascinating people to get to know!
Unfortunately, the lingering legal effects of a family tragedy will most likely make it impossible for me to have enough available time to squeeze this in or I would have signed up when the discount was still in effect. I am just pounding my head against a wall mourning the (probably) lost opportunity.
I really can't second Glenn's (and RMP orgininally, I think) suggestion enough. I think everyone would find it an exciting and very rewarding experience.
