I think it was real fun to have that theme once and see what people did with it, but I don't think it should be done again (for the reasons John outlined). I like the idea of more Open months but it is fun to see what we all do with a theme now and then, so count me among those who suggested perhaps 3-4 themed months each year. I liked Marnie's suggestions, especially the "Mystery" one.
