I'm in, I hope. And I'd like to think myself flexible enough
to be able to do either (or both) of the possible locales.

Well perhaps not. But to drive 400+, miles lug heavy gear
with a bad back (remember some of us are no longer as
young as we once were), spend 15 to 20 minutes setting 
up and dialing in a complicated rig (and our muse), for 
a mere 15 to 20 minute spot does not seem to be that 
much of a trade off. My wife thinks I'm crazy to do it
for a mere hour (3 kids, 18 years of marriage and I still 
can't get no respect--ha!). 

I'd do it for the smaller spot, but I'm affraid that I'd 
just be warming up and have to stop. It's not so much 
that "brevity" is a problem per se--it's more a matter 
of "invoking the spirits" (for lack of better terms) 
that seems to take all of the time (particularly under 
harried and stressful circumstances).
