Hi LArry,I knew you were "in the loop" on this list, but without a list that the SF folks have access to, we still are stuck with them trying to funnel information (in both directions) through a single person at a time. I think that once Erik gets an e-mail list going for them, things will work much more smoothly.

I am in the loop...just real quiet :-). I am very busy with both work and helping out with this year's ACA convention. On top of that my wife is a Tax CPA, so I am also playing Mr. Mom for three little ones until April 15. I have not been replying just because I have agreed with everything said by Karen, Scott, Erik and Phil regarding the location/cost and communications between us and them. $120 is high and I am concerned that they are already spending their time looking around without completely understanding the dynamics of what they should be looking for. And yes, I also want to know...who is really running this thing. I am happy to help them in whatever way I can, ie reviewing contracts, hotel negotatiations, and general advice although my time is going to be somewhat limited until the ACA in July.

That would also keep Larry in the loop, and I know he wsa invaluable helping work out the hotel deal last year.
