I'd like to be able to select the place context in that case rather than the person, to see all items related to Cornucopia.
Here's how you can make this work.

Context list:

-Cornucopia
---Amy
---Adam
---Scott
---Lori
...
-Other Place
---Adam
---Donna
---Frank
...

Note that Adam is someone you see in both places.

1. You're going to Cornucopia, and want to take a list of everything.
In the Context sidebar, click on Cornucopia. All the nested contexts come along, so you have everything.

2. You're going to Cornucopia, and only Amy and Scott will be there.
Click on C>Amy, Command-click on C>Scott. You will see only the C things that are for Amy or Scott

3. You are going to Other Place, but want everything for Adam, regardless of where he is.
Click on O.P.>Adam, Command-click on C>Adam. You now have everything for Adam.

This works well if you have people you see mostly at only one place. But you can extrapolate from this to other situations.

In short, even without multiple Contexts per action, you can view several Contexts at once, which is often just as good. [Not always though — I'd still like some limited meta data, but I've learned how to get along without it.]
