I am a definate.

I'll offer up my place as a meeting point.  I'm in San Diego, just about
20 miles north of the border.  Unfortunately, I'm in a condo, and while
there is guest parking, sleeping in the campers is probably not a good
idea.  I do have an extra room, a couch, and plenty of floor space.
I also have a shower - $5 for Martha, free for everyone else :)

I'm in agreement with this.  I think we should go for high turnout
(safety in numbers!) rather than a long haul, *this* time.  :)
