Re: [AGA SC] Fwd: RE: Registration info

["Karen Randall" <krandall@rdrcpa.biz>]

Hmmm.  Friday sounds grueling.  It also means that people really HAVE to be
there by Friday afternoon to get their money's worth out of the
convention... It's not like in the past, were the Friday activity was more
to give something fun to do while they waited for the "official" convention
to begin.  Of course, it's a good strategy for increasing room nights as
long as people don't just give up completely.

Hopefully people will like it. (and hopefully they won't start too early on
Saturday!<g>)

So Amano won't be setting up a tank?

What is the "cast your vote" thing?  Does that have something to do with the
AGA contest?  Has Erik OK'd it?
