It's swell to have three meetings in a year distributed across the country. Why are they always in the same order? Other disciplines have proven that it's possible to hold the major job-interviewing convention elsewhere than on the east coast, and think how much easier it would be for the graduate students at institutions in the other two-thirds of the country! You could rotate: eastern-fall, central-winter, pacific-spring; central-fall, pacific-winter, eastern-spring; pacific-fall; eastern-winter; central-spring. It would not be complicated.
