i was aggressively pursuing it, and still am.  but after looking at the 
conference and holiday schedules (pittsburgh perl workshop in particular), 
it made more sense to move it to early 2008, so i haven't been as vocal 
about it lately.

as for venue, hotels in philly (the city) are just too expensive.  there 
are several affordable places out here on the main line within walking 
distance of public transportation, so i've been focusing my efforts on 
researching those hotels.  i was going to compile a list and then start 
calling around to talk about facilities and group rates.

if anyone has ideas, please let me know!
