Re: [AGA-mcm] It's that time again -- Or - It's friggin' mid-October already? Yikes!

I contacted the Airport Marriott in Atlanta on Friday.
The event manager and I have exchanged voice mails. 

I am hoping to get a more detailed proposal from them
this time around. I do think that we are going to have
to revisit the costs. Hotels have raised rates for
eerything the last few years. They also seem less
inclined to deal on things.

I really would like to have someone try to get a hold
of Amano and of course Tomoko to see if they would be
interested in speaking. This will have to wait until
we get some dates though.

I think you have the banner or at least you did and I
just did jury duty two weeks ago so I guess I am all
out of excuses ;-).

Regards,
Larry
