Yes, a DEFCON-like conference would be quite interesting.

I gave the Keynote Address at DEFCON-7 remotely, in the genre of a
Visual Vicarious Soliloquy, using my wearable computer:

Maybe now that there's a good number of people online, we could
organize a multiple person version of this.

Perhaps with several of my students also wearing EyeTap devices and
being online live, we could all have a computer mediated meeting.
