Just a note to start you thinking about whether hanging out with a whole bunch of friendly haiku poets aboard the Queen Mary in Long Beach, California, might have some appeal. After hearing glowing reports from fellow poets about previous events over the years, the pull to attend this year is prety magnetic.
The 2013 event will be held on August 14-18 and here's a link with lots of great information in the drop-down menus
