I had a hard enough time getting Dan to Origins. The main incentive at the time was a repeat thrashing of Mark's Germany by his Soviets. Since then, he has been around about on the job scene so he would probably be strapped anyway.
And Eric just finally got the GM pink slip so I don't see that happening either. Unfortunately, he may not be around that much longer. Hopefully he can find something, but it will probably be down in the South somewhere. His wife is from Dallas and he is looking for greener pastures.
The Holidays are so eaten up by both sides of my wife's family that there is no way to get away then. That is why I bring up an off time like my birthday.
