Well, you've got to figure that many (most?) of those not going are
not going due to:
   a) Mundane conflicts
   b) Budgetary constraints
   c) All of the above.

This would cause one to suspect that the majority of the non-attendees
won't have the time/resources for much more than a pity party potluck.
