Eric:

As I was also not at the meeting, I am looking forward to October to see the 
new room.  In general I think that we can do a bit better withe the space and 
accomidations and the scheduling lady is so slow that we are not in danger of a 
move anytime soon.  I would like to resolve the parking though (park on 
street?).
