Re: GWA Tucson-Friday

What about after the Friday eve Exhibit Hall reception -- which ends at  
7:30?
Do most people have other plans that eve? I find many trying to "make a  
meal of it" at that reception and it is never that satisfying, if that is your 
 goal. Would rather share appetizers/desserts and drinks with a group of 
you all  afterwards in one of the hotel's restaurants/bars.

If I can  con Sara into holding down the bar while I'm finishing up with  
the
first-timer's reception, I'd say that I'll do the head count.   I'll call 
the
facility tonight and pull together a space that can hold  us.  I believe 
that
there's usually about 25 of us.  If my  rapidly fading memory serves.

So, can I have a head/hand count of who  would come to a gathering on Friday
afternoon between 2:30 (opposite the  first timers reception for those of 
you
who aren't or won't go) until 4:30  PM.  The trade show opens at 3:30 so
there will be overlap on the last  hour as well.

It's a crush.  Does anyone have another  suggestion?

--------------------------------
I am not attending the GWA  Symposium, as I'm traveling to New Mexico and
Calif.  Oct. 17.   Too much to do all once, and I've seen everything on GWA
agenda, as my kids  live in the Phoenix area where I visit often.

Bottom line is that I've  not planned a GWL gathering.  Anyone who would 
like
to do so, please  feel free.  I usually contact the bar or lounge in the 
host
hotel to  make arrangements for a private space and appetizers.  You'll need
to  announce the gathering, get a head count and share costs for nibbles  
with
everyone.

I'll be in Quebec in 3013, for sure, and we'll have a  gathering then.
