Re: AGA 2004 (fwd)

[Erik Olson <erik@thekrib.com>]

Thanks much!  It's actually very refreshing to see three different people 
already thinking of hosting later conventions already.  Even more 
refreshing to actually say "Scott has the bid document that will help you 
get started"... mind much on AGA as I spent last night pouring through 
every TAG since v1n1 researching my little talk, and it's just amazing how 
much in terms of growing pains we've been going through the last 4 years.
