Maybe one of these years, we can find someone with the time and the 
expertise to work out a way to *broadcast* (sorry...couldn't resist 
<g>) via the internet and/or podcast the Fest forums and discussions 
to those who can't attend in person for one reason or another.  Maybe 
even include an interactive component...

Just a thought.  (Unfortunately, thoughts are much easier than 
actions.)
