Let me not argue to your point, Todd, but to throw out yet another one that I seriously suggested after the 1997 Reunion.

Harbour Lights could hold 2 (or 3) Reunions in the next year (2000, or 2001). Same content, same goodies, same Reunion event exclusive, same program - different regions of the country, different lighthouses. (Exclude anyone from attending more than one.)

Putting together ONE such event takes many resources, but putting on TWO events doesn't take twice the resources; in fact some of the expenses would be less. (The cost of producing 700 exclusive pieces would be much higher per piece than producing 2100 of the same.)

Heck, (and they'll shoot me for this one), HL could put on 4-6 "Weekend Reunion Events" around the country with a traveling roadshow (like CSPAN's Big Yellow Bus).
