    Yeah, it would definitely be neat to have it travel around the country in years to come. Maybe someplace on the west coast next year?

    So are we good for the weekend? I can try to call for a group rate at the hangar hotel. They aren't cheap and none of the rooms have two beds, so harder to share. We're looking forward to it.
