Let me use your message to make a suggestion for the future... I believe 
that lots of people who would love to be there won't be able for similar 
reasons. I this list alone I see messages coming from all over the world!

My suggestion is based on an idea that has been successfully applied in 
the theoretical chemistry area for about 10 years, and certainly in 
other areas that I don't know about: It's the idea of an "electronic 
conference". Better than trying to explain the details here, I would 
just point the people interested to one that is just about to happen:
        http://eccc.monmouth.edu/
I know that /the subject/ isn't of any interest for most people in this 
list. However the idea of having an electronic version of FUDcon, so 
that *everyone* interested could participate, with no restrictions of 
space, visa or finances, does seem interesting, at least to me.

Personally, I'm in the US, and would love to be at FUDCon, but can't 
afford it. I'd certainly participate in the electronic version

Cheers,
