Monday and Tuesday night are both really busy, and my intuition is
that 35+ people might be disruptive to the other big events we have on
Monday and Tuesday night.  If things get started after 8 and any talks
get going around 9 on either day then that might work out.  Please
have a look at the schedule on the main page to get a better idea of
what else is happening on either night.
