incidentally, lest my earlier comments about campus bars be misread, i
think this is a promising idea.  i'm on the organizing and program committees
for the annual python (programming language) conference, and we've done
well using the facilities of universities in washington, texas, etc.  a big part
of this conference (pycon.org) is keeping the cost reasonable, which i'm
guessing would appeal to many SPAH members as well.  with a little bit of 
effort you might even be able to engage the music department's help for student
volunteers and such, or at least to help spread the harmonica gospel to a new
generation of students.

probably worth some investigation.
