Hi Amerie,

In this case "whoever shows up are the right people" only applied to 
those who were invited. We did consider inviting some females but since 
we were all lodging in one small AIRBNB (with 1/2 the group sleeping on 
air mattresses, some in the kitchen, etc) alas, it ended up being "all 
gentleman," by design, this time around.

It ended up being quite the spartan arrangement, 6 guys in one small 
space. There was one bathroom, and lots of loud snoring- I'm not naming 
names!

Daniel
