Goes George Lo know this? :) He's not registered, as far as I know. Also, I've been just grazing over the comping issues, sorry. Re-reading now. Not sure whether it's appropriate to comp Luis' banquet. I am pretty sure that Scott's recollection is right that we did not offer complimentary banquets to the sponsors in the past, just basic registration. I'm obviously OK if Phil wants to offer Luis his extra banquet ticket (though I agree we should refund it, and if it were me in Phil's shoes, I would NOT offer Luis my extra ticket to make him happy. I'd give up tons of stuff for Cheryl to be there. I would not give up stuff for Luis). On the flip side, we do seem to be offering to comp Greg Morin's entire family at a cost of $160, and that we probably have to spend that much money anyway unless we get 14 more people to sign up for banquets in the next few days, but given all they do for the AGA we probably would have anyway. And we would have comped Senske for doing the IA, even if he weren't a speaker. So we probably would be good sports to comp Senske's guest. - Erik -- Erik Olson erik at thekrib dot com _______________________________________________ AGA-sc mailing list AGA-sc@thekrib.com http://lists.thekrib.com/mailman/listinfo/aga-sc
