Sounds good. Unfortunately I won't personally be able to attend any conventions for the next year or so, but I would be very pleased if conventions further in future that I might already enjoy attending could gain the additional appeal of an LW meetup, or maybe even a rationality track.

Also, by TAM I meant The Amazing Meeting that takes place yearly in Las Vegas. It's "a celebration of critical thinking and skepticism sponsored by the James Randi Educational Foundation". James Randi is the guy responsible for the fairly well-known challenge where he's agreed to give $1 million to anyone who can demonstrate paranormal powers (precognition, dowsing, telekinesis, etc.) under experimental controls.
