GWA 2014 Pittsburgh

**d* s* v* g* <g*@lists.ibiblio.org>**

So why should you come to GWA 2014 Pittsburgh? Besides the great food  and 
scenery?
You will get access to private gardens that very few visitors  ever get to 
see. Unique gardens that your readers would love to see through your  eyes. 
Public gardens that are known world wide for their innovative green  
technologies and implementation.
Walk through a piece of architectural  history at Fallingwater and Kentuck 
Knob.There's even a piece of the Berlin Wall  to see at Kentuck.
New speakers with something to say about increasing  your bottom dollar. 
And how to hang on to it too. Michael Madison, will be  talking about 
Intellectual Property law. Where can you talk to a lawyer and get  all your 
questions answered and a few more you hadn't thought of too.?
New  things happening at the symposium this year. A hands-on Chanticleer 
chair  building workshop this year. Can't pack it up on the plane??? Plans 
will be  available too, as well as kits for making it. 
_Kirk  Ryan Brown_ (https://www.facebook.com/kirk.r.brown.50)  is the 
genius behind the Night of the Round Tables.
A  post workshop by Mark Turner will help you turn your photography skills 
from so  so to WOW.
There's something new too this year to make your  storytelling easier. 
We've prepared a booklet with questions for you to ask  while visiting the 
different sites. Things that you would never think to ask. It  will prepare you 
for when we arrive at our different gardens. We did the work  for you! Plus 
you can get more information from the homeowners that will be on  site.
Thanks to our sponsor Visit PIttsburgh, you will have hot hors  d'oerves on 
the Saturday cruise on the Three Rivers which I can always make a  meal out 
of so you won't starve. In fact, food is reasonably cheap except at the  
high end places so that will keep the budget from busting. 
The Westin  Hotel and Convention Center has made the rooms exceptionally 
reasonable, a  departure from the past. Still on a tight budget, get a 
roommate!
When  the trade show ends, we have something to make the trip back to the 
room a  little easier.     We have some decked out carts to take the  swag 
back. You can even share it with a buddy, the cart, not the swag.
Our  committee's goal has been to make this the best symposium yet, taking 
you places  you could never imagine.
