I wish all the volunteers thought this way... -- Erik Olson erik at thekrib dot com ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 05 Jun 2006 14:43:32 -0400 From: nycsfo@aol.com To: erik@thekrib.com Subject: Re: [AGA-conheads] registration update Erik,Thanks for your comments, you are a gentleman. And I do understand that you are juggling this with your current job, plus being a parent...so no offense taken.
Yes, A/V needs will be met. But that wasn't what I was referring to when I made my comment. I simply meant that my time would be better spent staying at the convention site and helping you with the A/V needs. Won't there be events at the convention just before, and just after the field trip? How about during the field trip, for folks who aren't going? Or is this free time for them to explore SF? Either way, I think just hanging out at the hotel and being a runner for you is probably the best use of my time. If something were to go south suddenly, I would know the closest place to get what we need (that is if the hotel doesn't offer it to us at some astronomical price!).

Everything else will either be brought in by members or myself at this point. Just checking.Â

on registering for another month or so; and I was never planning on attending Monterey as I'm sure my time will be taken up working with you on A/V needs back at the hotel.  Regards,  Michael Laflamme  -----Original Message----- From: Erik Olson <erik@thekrib.com> To: aga-conheads@thekrib.com Sent: Thu, 1 Jun 2006 20:37:17 -0700 (PDT) Subject: [AGA-conheads] registration update  Hi folks,  As of today, we have 31 registrations, 29 banquets, and 28 of the 50 field trip slots filled. Â

forgot (or didn't think you had) to register. (In case you were curious, yes, the AGA side of the house has all registered.)  - Erik  -- Erik Olson erik at thekrib dot com _______________________________________________ aga-conheads mailing list aga-conheads@thekrib.com http://lists.thekrib.com/mailman/listinfo/aga-conheadsÂ;   _______________________________________________ aga-conheads mailing list aga-conheads@thekrib.com http://lists.thekrib.com/mailman/listinfo/aga-conheadsÂ; Â
