I don't think there's any apology needed. There are, however, a few
points that I think are misunderstood, and I have a few questions
about this activity.
<DLV organizer's hat on>
First of all, are you thinking of this for 2004 or for 2005? I think
everybody, myself included, assumed you meant 2004, thus the discussion
of how it would fit with items already penciled on on the schedule. Your
latest note referred to 2005.
Do you see this as an evening or daytime activity?
Is it to be a stand-alone activity, or combined with something else?
Where do you envision this happening? One of our usual bars? Hotel
suite? Other place?
Would this be open to the entire DLV group?
Any costs involved? If so, who covers them and how?
If something like this is to be on the DLV schedule, somebody (you or
another volunteer or volunteers) will have to agree to "adopt" (sponsor)
it and work out the details. When there's a volunteer on record for it,
then it can be placed on the DLV schedule, subject to availability of
the preferred timeslot.

Personally, I think something like this would be well-received and would
be enjoyed by the majority of the DLV attendees.
If you want this to happen at DLV 2004, I suggest you (or somebody else)
adopt it ASAP and get the the wheels turning. There are a number of
timeslots still open if it's to be a stand-alone thing. The important
thing is to make plans very shortly if you want it to happen in 2004.
If you want it to happen in 2005, it's far too early to make any plans
now, so be prepared to propose it when the planning for DLV 2005 starts,
which will most likely be in late summer 2004.
Anyway, let us know which way you want to go with this.
