As of today, we're more than halfway from Datclave 2 to Datclave 3.

WSFA holds a Datclave whenever February has a fifth Friday.  Datclave
2 was held Friday, February 29th through Sunday, March 2nd, 2008.
Datclave 3, if it's held, will presumably begin on Friday, February
29th, 2036.

As of today, March 2nd, 2008 was 5113 days ago, and February 29th,
2036 is 5112 days from now.

I didn't attend Datclave 1 in 1980, but my first WSFA event, a
Disclave, was just three months later.  I did attend Datclave 2,
28 years later.  It was my last WSFA event.

Was there a Datclave 0 in 1952?  No.  Before 1960, WSFA met on
Sundays, not Fridays.  A regular meeting was held on Sunday, February
29, 1948, the only fifth Sunday in February between the founding of
the club and its switch to meeting on Fridays.
