Re: [AGA-mcm] Sidetrack

Yep. Not even engaged yet and already they have cold feet. 

Yet, it's something bound to be asked by local club members
who don't understand AGA's credibility in the marketplace.

I don't know if DFWAPC asked those questions, but I think
they were confident the event would do much better than
break even and that was enough to share -- besides, I think
they thought they could do a good job of it. Or maybe Larry
just talked them into it ;-)

What's so bad about El Paso, anyway? A lot of folks call it
home ;-)  .  I've never been there and wouldn't mind seeing
it. Besides, I imagine the Rio Grande has aquatic plants,
no? And there one can stand in two states and two countries
at the same time -- why? I have no idea.

But I'm still trying to wrap my brain around spending a
weekend in a clubhouse for vets. How did that prospective
lodging came up?
