Re: GWAPA Proposal rough draft2 (fwd)

[Erik Olson <erik@thekrib.com>]

OK, so my first impressions are that this is a good start.  It sounds 
doable.  And if Larry's really on board to help with hotels (and you Scott 
with budget in general), there's a certain amount of checks and balances.

        * I like that they have "themes" in mind already, as opposed to it
being "just a convention".

        * Interesting dual-pronged approach of "The Crypt" and 
"Aquascaping".  Not sure if that's good (choice) or bad (too much).

        * I guess I'd like to see some worse-case scenarios (notice I 
didn't say "worst"... I just want to see something a little less 
optimistic than this year's baseline!).

        * Guess we'll have to talk on the aquascaping contest stuff.  I
like the idea of integrating it better with the convention -- follows what
I've been gradually building on the last 3 years.  And if there's someone
in particular who's got the interest, then I should bring them in as we
start opening the contest for business next year.  But if the entries are
like previous years, most of the entries would positively SUCK if enlarged
to 8x10.  A few would look nice, but most probably wouldn't.  Maybe
instead there could be some computer displays rotating or per-category?  
Inkjet-printed prints?  5x7's? Foam-core mounted? 

        * Didn't see anything on A/V expenses, but I suppose that would be 
getting ahead of ourselves... (did I mention I bought a mixing console for 
Christmas?  My last pre-dadhood stupid purchase.)

Scott, do these numbers look good to you so far?
