I brought it up this weekend with my wife just to see what her reaction would be. Surprisingly, she didn't react badly at all, but quickly came to the same conclusion I did. We (I) just can't afford to go. The expense alone would be tough on our finances but the lost time at work is the killer. I just hope this isn't a once-in-a-lifetime chance to go with someone I "know" even if only virtually. Maybe things will be different in the coming years and the opportunity will come around again.

I'm completely serious when I say I can easily imagine myself planning a similar event in the upper midwest (probably Minneapolis - due to it's liberal leanings). Anyone feel the same calling?
