Re: [AGA-sc] AGA Update

That date doesn't sound nice to me.  Too close to Christmas holiday break, 
and still quite expensive.  I wonder if ACA 2008 folks might be able to 
help recommend an alternate hotel.

Larry, are you still considering Dallas as an alternative in 2007, or 
asking if we bail on 2007 altogether?  I'm of the opinion that Dallas 2007 
would work.  But it sounds like Atlanta would be better in 2008 (ACA in 
same place 3 months prior notwithstanding).
