CupcakeCamp NYC 2 - Who's in?

We're trying to get a general idea if everyone/anyone is interested in a summer CupcakeCamp. The one we are currently brainstorming is another 21+ event (it's a venue issue - all ages places are hard to come by). But, we are also thinking about an all age shindig sometime this summer too. So, tell us your thoughts/opinions/gripes/suggestions/etc. in the comments section. We are here for the cupcake lovin' New Yorkers, so tell us what you want!
