It was originally planned for elsewhere but I believe
logisticals complications moved it to the Hosp Room --
either good luck or good judgement, but it was clearly a
good way to go. I think it was private, also, but turned
into an open house, what with the plant bagging and
everything. Even Tom and George should up that night ;-)

I think the FT as an early Sat thing makes Thurs reg more
important. We jsut needed one or two folks.

But, in hindsight, I like the idea of a convention opener
get-together in the Hosp room.
