MS was traditionally the weekend after Mothers Day or the following. Usually around the third weekend in may. Last year they went to late May (actually into the June I believe). This seems like a good date. I hope they stay with that. JOS has been the first weekend in May for the past several years. Also a very good date. However, Frank has moved Top Gun. It now runs through the first weekend in May in 04. I mailed Allan about this several months ago, and suggested the weekend before (last weekend in April). That could create a conflict with Easter in some years.

The question for the organizers is, keep the traditional date and live with it, or move everytime something else moves. I like picking a date and sticking with it.
