I guess if enough people wanted to do it in, say, Florida, a separate
event could be set up there, too.  (Certainly this would make sense for a
SqueakEnd in Europe.)  But the law of diminishing returns starts to
apply... if you have too many events, you'll likely have fewer people at
each event.

So far, there seems to be enough interest (11+ people) in having one in
Pittsburgh, that it sounds like a plan.  In any case, John was the only
one to actually volunteer to arrange a location, which counts for a lot.
