I'd consider doing something in 2011 along the lines of a F16 Nationals type event though. I've got a spot with ample hotel rooms, there's a yacht club I could lean on for help, and its on a real nice section of the Mississippi.
Matt and I are completely in for an event in MN. I love MN and we have so many friends that we would encourage to come out and support this event. By that I mean, drink with us and see how big our kids have grown. Nah, they are H people, but I know they'd be all over a good party. March on Karl!
Pete - The mosquitos are no worse than down here, but a lot bigger. Cold is relative. But Gina looks great in a turtle-neck.
