Re: [AGA-sc] Luis

["S. Hieber" <shieber@yahoo.com>]

What are the speaker perks? two roomnights, convention reg, Banq, that's it.  
So a joint presentation couldonly mean that AGA pay's Luis's hotel room, buys 
him a banq and let's him in the convention for free. Travel wouldn't be an AGA 
except for a keynote or special speaker.
 
Luis was a bit rough as a presenter, iirc. If he just plays Carol Merril to 
Ricky's Monty Hall, I suppose that could work as a presentation. But basically, 
this would just be a set of comps.
 
And, of course, it raises the question, of course, of who gets what and who 
doesn't. Lots of deserving folks out there and who's to decide one person's lot 
is worse than another's.
 
Otoh, Luis helped a lot on the Houston affair, so bit of a stretch but arguably 
that could be a general basis for the comps. However, we've told the SFBAAPS 
that the workers on the current convention don't get comps.

. . .
Having heard this story, naturally I called Ricky next. He and Ben want 
to make sure Luis gets to AGA. Ben is going to sell plants to raise 
money for airfare. Ricky is willing to give up his free registration and 
whatever other perks go with being a speaker. He will pay for himself 
when he gets back from Japan. He will even work it out with Luis so that 
their talk is a joint presentation, with Ricky showing slides and Luis 
doing the actual aquascaping or something like that.

I wanted to bounce this idea off y'all first. What do you think?
