Or SF Bay might have said no to underwriting the trip or maybe his health . . . who knows. Anyway, it sounds like we have our "Kruschev letter", that is, it sounds like we can all accept him backing off without anyone feeling seriously jilted -- not the right word, but you know what I mean. sh ----- Original Message ---- From: Erik Olson <erik@thekrib.com> To: Aquatic Gardeners Association Board <aga-sc@thekrib.com> Sent: Saturday, June 3, 2006 6:30:57 PM Subject: Re: [AGA-sc] [Fwd: RE: The Aquatic Gardener ad submission deadline] Yes. I think Ray can pick and choose what he wants a bit more than he lets on (as do we all, I suppose). By all means April should have been too late to have booked him for November anyway. What I got from the conversation with him was that he thought it would be a good perk for HIM, because SF is home to San Francisco Bay Brand, one of his big sponsors, and he could take time to visit them. So perhaps he either quickly forgot about our passing conversation, or decided it'd be better not to go...or, he might have been getting pissy about me not being done with his video yet. :) In either case, whew! I think this will be less hassle for a convention in which we could use less hassle. _______________________________________________ AGA-sc mailing list AGA-sc@thekrib.com http://lists.thekrib.com/mailman/listinfo/aga-sc
