Well, given that I lack both an auto-mobile and "spendin' cash," I shan't be 
attending the
MMIX event; I DO, however, fully intend to attend the MMIX CCC!!

Perhaps there will some-day come a time when both financial and health 
issues will
"fall into place," allowing me to once again be a standard attendee at all, 
or most,
78-oriented public events...?!?!

I attended several of these "bashes"...usually coming home with bunches
of 78'sand a major "hangover"...?!
