Yeah, the more I think of it, the better it would be if we could hook up
with a mainstream con and offer to finance and run a Hawkwind/Spacerock
stream. I'll get in touch with my conrunner friends and see if they know
of a con which might be interested.
It'd have pretty much all the advantages since at least some of the SF
fans would pay to see the band and few disadvantages.
