Yup. :) I'm willing to drive farther than most people I know - and
something that's even as far as Seattle or Portland would be OK for me, but
farther down the coast, and we're getting into "more time driving than
festing" territory. I'd prefer to not need more than 2 days of holidays to
drive down to a fest.

Yah. From an unbiased point of view, I'd say January-February timeframe
would be good, but from a selfish POV, do it later in the year; this
january, I'll not be travelling. (A two month old baby will be around by then.)

Long weekends are good, although I don't think there are any common holidays
at that time of year. The first long weekend I can think of is in May.
Just some thoughts,
