Hi Leon, That's good to know about the bus. I am definitely holding to that hardfast limit of 60 (hence my posts to aga-conheads reminding SFBAAPS of this). We're going to sell 50, and those will be guaranteed seats. There will probably be a few others such as my wife and myself (though I actually bought seats -- we'll consider that donation) who are going to take other transportation in order to return to the convention early enough to set up, coordinate and greet people at 4 (so that we do not have a repeat of 2004). We will keep the other 10 slots in reserve for speakers and semi-paid folks who are going back early. We will definitely make sure that someone is coordinating the bus loading. It will be a lot easier with only 50 instead of 100. (cc-ing AGA board so someone else puts it on the checklist.) I thought we authorized you to do the snacks thing as part of the deal. Guys, is this OK? I guess we should have tip-guy be the same as herd-guy. - Erik On Sun, 4 Jun 2006, Leon Garden wrote: > Erik, > > I plan to meet the bus at the aquarium in Monterey -- someone else > (who?) will coordinate loading the 50 field trippers.
