Due to family issues, I cannot, but I want to attend one.

Admission - when I first got the email asking me to host, I read it too fast and thought that I was being asked to host Robert Reich. I thought, damn, I would need to fix the roof and other very large and pretty damned not affordable so not gonna happen things (like limping and too expensive to run air conditioner. In Florida.) So, dang.
I called a close friend (who is also a fellow DUer) and told her about my quandary. I reread the email, and yeah, I was being asked to host people for watching the videos. Still not in any shape to host anybody, though. But I will attend an event if there is one close by.
