My biggest concern is who is going to ru the show and keep all the details in order. Of all the things Tom is, a detail man he ain't. My though in this particular case is to let him and the rest of his co-planners see how much we expect in case that gives them second thoughts. If this isn't going to bring us a good convention, I'd rather end it very early than later. If later, I'm afraid we will basically have closed off any other options, scared off any other clubs, moved too far into the calendar year to get a convention off the ground. A guy comes to me that wants to borrow money and I know he has a history of not paying. First thing, while I check his credit, I want him to know how big the payments are going to be. Checking his creidt is worthwhile to start but there might be no need to finish it. sh --- Erik Olson <erik@thekrib.com> wrote: > On Mon, 27 Dec 2004, Karen Randall wrote: > > > Sorry, I thought we were having a conversation with > him, and that sending > > him the bid sheet was just part of that conversation... > I've had (and > > responded to) 3 e-mails from him in the last 18 hours. > > No, I'm directing the e-mail more to Scott and myself, as > we've both done > this twice now to two separate people.
