Concidentally, I bought a five-port hub just last night =). Taking a year off from school might be a lot, but - with proper employment it ought to work. Regarding broadcasting - screw MTV. If we nagged enough places, someone would be certain to provide not only equiptment, but also bandwidth to broadcast this fiasco. And if not, I'm sure a website created by us for this sole purpose would draw quite a few visitors... "The Drama - The Romance - TheFez!"

If it were in Atlanta, I'd be game. But considering that everyone would say that (regarding their home town,) doing this outside anywhere with a high noder population would be difficult. As much as it sucks, too many of us are bound by our jobs or school; ditching them for a year would be fun but difficult, be it because of scholarships or an employment record. Maybe we could somehow (not on this) create a tolly who would be a definite go for which city/cities and from thereon start the planning?

Possibly some well-meaning God could sanction this and create a tally on the top, including only people who would be a definite go, something like:
New York: Blah, blah, blah
Big Sleazy: Templeton, blah, blah
Phatlanta: piq, blah
This is, of course, assuming that five noders could live together without bloodshed.
