Re: [AGA-sc] AGA Update

[Erik Olson <erik@thekrib.com>]

Update: Looks like Ken Davis and the boys are using the Atlanta Airport 
Hilton in Hapeville, GA, and are doing $109 per night with $10 rebate to 
the club, and $42 banquet.  July 16-21, 2008.  Estimated attendance is 
400.  [Wow, they've already got an A/V guy.  I *really* could blow off ACA 
2008 entirely!]
