Josh, I've been promoting this idea privately to some of the entrants.
I think it is a tremendous way to speed up the expo (needed!) as well
as get photo-3d'ers together. We did this locally last year with
expo 1, getting some northern Colorado 3D'ers together, and had
a really great time looking at all the images together!

The unfortunate thing about this hobby is that it is so easy to be
isolated, with _no one_ you know locally that does it. Expo can
play "matchmaker" and get people together!

For example, I wonder if the two photo-3d'ers (and both expo entrants)
in Anchorage, AK knew there was another one there? Bet they were
both feeling alone in their hobby!


Plus of course we would shave WEEKS of expo's trip - if we really
want to get Expo done in a year, with the amount of people who
want to be included, we'll _HAVE_ to do some smart things like this.
