Our people do over and over state that they like the ending to be on a
weekend. We have had endings on just about every day of the week, but I
just don't like a schedule that starts on Friday and ends on Thursday.
We would be mobbed the first couple days followed by a 4-day fizzle-out.

I tend to agree.
 
>Anything prior to Mother's Day and Easter causes problems.

We've already established by precedent that starting the day after
Easter caused no significant problems, at least from those who
are vocal about it. :) {crossing fingers}

Thanks, Aiko, we've already received a second on this nomination.

And to all: To prevent any confusion on what's actually being nominated,
please explicitly state "I nominate" (or "I second") if you are
officially proposing a timeframe. Otherwise we just have to assume
that it's only part of the ongoing discussion. Thanks.
