Ummm, Yes and no. We passed a new law. Four or more need a permit. To get one you'll need to post a bond for any extra law enforcement, cleanup, anticipated damages... I'm not kidding.

The good news is, no tractor parade this year! 

(Sorry I couldn't resist.) 

I'd like to provide a little door prize for your dinner.  How should I get it to you?  Whom do you trust? 

Door prizes?!?!?!! 

Well then count me in! 

Seriously tho, I'll be there as usual.

Hi, Everyone--

Thought I'd chime in, as we're getting closer!

I haven't moved the lunch back to 11:30 yet, but please let me know if there are sufficient numbers who'd want to do that. This would help folks who want to go to the 12:30 presentation(s). I was thinking, the Coliseum isn't going to be jam-packed, and since we have the space reserved for noon, if a handful of people wanted to go over at 11:30 or so, there would certainly be room for you.  Anyway, let me know if you think it would be a good idea to move it officially back to 11:30.

Now, as for Friday night, I'm working hard to get out of a conflict that I may now have that night. If I can't get out of it, I'll be tied up until 9:30 or so, which would make a gathering at my house not really possible. BUT, I'd be very happy to meet up at a local establishment, if you Friday-nighters are interested. I'll be able to give you full details hopefully by the end of this week on the status of Friday night.

Oh, and KF, I am coming to Saturday dinner and I realize I haven't mentioned that yet 

So that's where things stand now. Let me know your thoughts, or PM me if you have any specific questions, etc.

Looking forward to seeing everyone again!

Great points, OS. I will set the "official" time as 11:30. We have the space until 1:30, so we can linger. But for folks who might want to make the 12:30 session, this will help.

We'll make the final meeting plans when we get closer.

Again, looking forward to seeing everyone!
