Or yet more sweeet, hold it in Sydney (no self interest here, ooooh no), and that way you can use all the facilities we're building for the 2000 Olympics. Maybe they'll let you hire out convention centers on the cheap to check if they can sustain the structural stress of a bunch of harpers wandering around plying their trade ;)
I can see the headline now: "Homebush Convention Center Collapses: 500 Harmonica Players Killed Or Injured. World Guitar & Vocalists Association Jubilant" ;)
Our dollar is also worth... oh... a grain of sand? at the moment, so you'll be able to pull all sorts of neat tricks like importing thousands of huangs in your carry-on bags, and then selling them at ridiculously inflated prices to a harmonica starved populace, desperate for entertainment. :)
And of course, then I could bug you all in person ;)
Cheerio, B.
