Yes, this does sound good... EUGLUG might wanna check with the SAO and 
see if you guys could piggyback sponsorship or something... SAO (or 
EUGLUG) might be able to put together a bigger presentation at the 
Hilton (or Symantec or whatever) and charge $ to get in, helping cover 
the payoff and/or expenses of putting it on...

If SAO puts it on as the primary sponsor, they're prolly going to want 
to keep it on the lighter side of the tech spectrum...
