TISLR 8?

[Robin Thompson]

I agree with James!
Its really nice to have someone interested in hosting TISLR 8...
Summer would be the best time to attend a conference and squeeze in a vacation on
the side.
Perhaps late August or early September when its cooled off a bit and prices have
dropped. (Just one poor grad students opinion....)

Happy New Year everyone!
