Would any of the folks on this group be interested in a campaign starting in the next week or two using G+ hangouts?

Would any of the folks on this group be interested in a campaign starting in the next week or two using G+ hangouts? It would be based on (surprise) Holmes basic, using some material from the 1981 Expert book to flesh out higher levels, plus other material drawn from all kinds of sources. It'd probably be in the evenings EST.

I picked up a second copy of the Holmes Rulebook at HPB today, this one a Silver Anniversary reprint for under $4. I'll probably give it to my daughter at some point, but for now, it will provide a clean copy for interior shots. Just thought I'd celebrate one of life's little victories.

Gateway to Adventure Catalog PDF

Not only is the new D&D Expert Set pdf a scan of the 1st printing, it also has an unlisted bonus: At the end are scans of the other contents of the Expert Set (other than X1), including one version of the famous Gateway to Adventure TSR. And it's the earlier version that shows the Holmes Basic rulebook side by side with an entry for the Expert Booklet. Although I now see that elsewhere in the catalog they show the new Moldvay Set cover.
