on your initiative.
Happy new year to you all.

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!
