Re: [AGA SC] That Darn Marriot -- We were this close when. . .

[Kathy Olson <kathy@thekrib.com>]

Hey...for the AGA I would show support and even pay those prices, but I 
would think it was a total waste.  As it is...in the $40 range the food is 
still not that good but I see it as a support for organization.  So, no, I 
would not boycott the banquet, but if I wasn't in the 
board/steeringcommmittee group...and I was just a member, I would surely 
grump about it and consider it.

So, maybe the sheraton will come through....maybe there is a local 
restaurant?  Those negotiations would be a piece of cake compared to this 
and able to do much closer to the event...wait that is right we have to 
reserve places, okay take that back.

Oops...on the Ribs, sorry scott!!  :)  

Take care,
Kathy
