losangeles southern california Drupalcon

I floated the idea of doing a DrupalCon in Los Angeles in Drupal Groups, with the thought that we could put in a proposal for Spring, 2009. Since then, Boris Mann informed me that the Drupal Association is actively seeking proposals for Spring 2008. This would make for an extremely tight schedule, with a lot of work to be done in the next 150 days.

Is there anyone who feels that this is something that we should pursue, and would like to step up in a (collaborative) leadership roll? If so, please speak up here, and feel free to contact me off list, if you wish.
