Certainly. Larry's given Rick some pointers, so we hope
that they can improve the deal -- it sort of sucks right
now but out of six hotels, all are quoting high rates.
There's a chance for a better deal if they go in hyping a
200 person turnout but then we might catch it on the
backside with gaurantees. But even with high rates, we can
still break even.

Absolutely true. I was only saying, the election is pretty
much over except for counting the ballots (I learned that
one working for a Congressman). 

There's much work to do, but the outcome is pretty directed
at this point -- there are no other comers and GWAPA has a
decent proposal. I don't see how could tell them no unless
they get arrested and we whip out a morals clause. The
basics are all there including financial soundness -- if we
can't get 50 people to show up, I'm going back into
politics, where, although the truth can hurt, it's rarely
used!
