    Doesn’t No Va mean “doesn’t go”? Or is that part of the funny part?

      I’m not sure if anyone noticed that. I believe the attraction was to the combination of these two meanings of “nova”:

      * Northern Virginia (colloquially referred to as “NOVA”)
      * a cataclysmic nuclear explosion caused by the accretion of hydrogen onto the surface of a white dwarf star, which ignites and starts nuclear fusion in a runaway manner

      Google Translate tells me that “no va con 2011” means “not going through 2011”, so perhaps that’s an apt meaning for you! 🙂

    There’s the slimmest chance of me going, but it’s not looking good…
