Hi Michael: 

thanks very much for your swift response. No I am not from Heidelberg, but from Munich Airport area instead. We will come anyways, since there is a chance to get into your great event. 

I also would like to congratulate you for such a great response. 

On the matter with Heidelberg University, my ties into there are not strong as well (I studied in Munich and Philadephia), but I have some touches that I could ask if you like. I don't want to interfere with your plans, but if your organisation commitee is rather open towards an alternative, it might help to ask at a few places, and I would be happy to do this. If you give me a go, would you have a preference regarding time slots, days and seating capabilities? Another good area of venue in Heidelberg could be this, if it is not taken: Kongresshaus Stadthalle Heidelberg.

Yours, Joerg

Are you from Heidelberg? If you don't have a long travel, just trying to
show up might work, but please stay tuned for future announcement
regarding this.
 
We hope we can figure this out for you and others.

The idea with the University of Heidelberg has been kicked around a
couple of times, but so far we did not have a good contact into the
university and it's vacation season there now as well.

So it might be difficult to organize on short notice, but we'll see.
