We need to find that out. I suspect even adding on the cost of a suite for
hospitality for Fri. & Sat. night, it won't come to $500 if we're supplying
the refreshments ourselves. It also gives us that all-important place to
sort auction items.

I'm not sure half the BOD wouldn't attend... I'd like to see a more dynamic
speaker line up. But we can get that going too... It's hard to finalize
speakers when we haven't finalized dates. I also don't think we need to
worry about poor attendance. This isn't an area like Chattanooga, where
EVERYONE needs to fly in... If NO ONE came from further than driving
distance, I think you could still get 60-70 locals. The organized hobby is
strong in that area. When I've spoken for SFAS, there have been more than
100 people in the room, and that's not the "plant club" itself.
-- This was what we thought about DC, where the population is much denser than
out west. So I'm wary about locals being a big turnout with thouse kinds of
numbers..
That would leave you as the only person on the ground and reasonably local.
Are you ready for that?
-- If it comes to a tank job or a hotel here, better that than to dive into the
tank. Right now, this looks like an iffy convention financially. I think we
should be very careful about financial obligations if we can add them later if
the numbers support it.
Isn't the vendor room supposed to be where the action is?
