Should we have karaoke on July 4th?

The past couple times we've held karoake on a holiday weekend we had etremely low numbers in terms of submissions.  An example is when I DJed on memorial day weekend if you count my songs we only had 12 songs submitted and I managed to add another 5 on top of that.  Considering this and the fact that the 4th of July is on a saturday this year I'm wondering if its even worth having it that week or if we should just cancel it as I know many people in the US go away or have a party that day and as a result probably wouldn't be able to make it which would translate into very low submissions again.  These are just my thoughts, but I also want to hear yours.  So what do you think?  Should we have karaoke on July 4th or should we cancel it?

Since the holiday falls on a Saturday, I second the motion to cancel for that day.

I think cancelling is a good idea.

My suggestion is to open it up to the non-American contingent.  Let someone else host it during a time that would suit our European friends.  If an American happens to be available, great.  Otherwise, there's no harm.

But this, of course, hinges on a non-American volunteering to host, D'ni-J, etc....
