SignWriting Symposium in La Jolla, California? June-July 2013?

[Erika Hoffmann-Dilloway]

If this happens I will find a way to be there! If it so happens that we can
arrange a symposium for this summer I'm all for it (though there is one
week in June and one week in July during which I am supposed to be away at
other conferences, so I'll keep my fingers crossed that a conflict doesn't
arise).
