Great list as always. I just saw Kes this week, and Cul-de-Sac is on my list.

No, I haven't done a list (the list that Cul-de-Sac is on is my to-see-someday list). It would be a sad list anyway, I'm afraid.

However, you might be interested in this: http://www.3quarksdaily.com/3quarksdaily/2011/12/spaceward-ho.html – where I do the next best thing.
