Re: Question about a Public Show

[Kathy Olson <kathy@thekrib.com>]

While I love shows, I am pretty over committed.  So, I could lend a hand
possible the day of the event, but would not be able to do planning.  (ie
as call schedules allow).  I definitely could not be counted on one way or
another.  (Erik...who I will let speak for himself....and I talked about
no additional commitments for next year).  So this is for me.

I know Portland thought about hosting an ACA as well.  Turns out hotels
are too expensive down there in July.  With SEATAC, that may be possible
here.  If a joint show does work out, who knows perhaps we could actually
get an ACA on this coast.  That would be very cool.

Take care

Kathy
