TISLR 8?

[James MacFarlane]

Dear Josep,

I think its wonderful that your group is considering hosting TISLR in
Barcelona.  As for the timing, I vote for a summer conference.  It is too
difficult for me to attend a conference during the school year.  Even worse,
because of commitments back here, I wouldn't be able to stay in Barcelona
additional days to enjoy your beautiful city.

Whatever you decide, I would try to attend, but summer is the best time for
me.
