Split SOS into multiple weekends?

I'm sure I'm not the only person who felt totally overwhelmed by this weekend's Somerville Open Studios, with over 340 artists at more than 100 separate locations. I made the following suggestion to several of the artists whom I visited, and they seemed sympathetic:

Draw an arbitrary line through the city. Everyone west of the line exhibits on SOS weekend #1. Everyone east of it exhibits on the following weekend. Or maybe even split the city (and the event) up into three successive weekends.

What do you all think?

Brickbottom and Joy Street Open Studios are scheduled for November 18 and 19 this year. As far as I know, this is the only Somerville open studio event that is not part of SOS.

Other nearby events, also in the fall:

Cambridgeport Open Studios (CAOS), September 9 and 10

Arlington Open Studios, October 14 and 15. (No info on the web site yet, other than the date.)
