Re: Banquest

["S. Hieber" <shieber@yahoo.com>]

I'm missing something here -- Dallas was $64 +35=99 -- The
Banquet price was set by the Hotel and the Reg price was
then set by Larry to total just under $100 -- If the
Banquet cost $40 each, the reg price would have been set at
$59, and so on. Larry thought that most attendees would
purchase the Banquet along with the reg and count both
costs together and he thought it was important that the
number be less than $100. That was strictly a marketing
decision and the rest of the budget was worked around that
the assumed number of minimum attendees based on the number
he had been told for 2002, which, of course turned out to
be inflated.


This 2004 proposal for reg and Banq is only $10 than for
2003 but the Hotel is $20 higher on average, assuming an
average of 1 roomnight per attendee, which approximates
last year's average per attendee.

My concern wasn't whether Amano is worth $200. I'd pay it.
My concern was the total cost for those more discriminating
with their funds, due to tastes or finances or both.

2002 Convention included a boatload of meals, didn't it. In
Dallas you might have got a beer or soda if your were
lucky. With Amano in 2001, did AGA feed the attendees?
