Hola! I'm not dead!

I am, however, way to overworked at the moment to be primary on  
this.  However, I could ask our illustrious friends at Google in New  
York about having a party there as well....

I know in New York its possible, though Google traditionally isn't  
open with cameras and such out of nowhere - be sure whoever takes it  
on makes the requests early on so its known.

Most of the locations are fully setup for VTC using a variety of Sony  
EVI-D100 cams (standard def stuff), and a combination of polycom for  
audio, and tandberg for video.  This can get pretty intense on the  
line though without some other bridging service supporting, so its  
definitely best to approach Google about doing something low res.
