Kate -

I got that email too  ;D

I've been registered for months, but I was glad the ANA sent it out.

I'm hopeful that many more will register - especially since they extended the early bird deadline.

Will definitely see you there!

Thanks for posting this.  I haven't registered yet but still intend on coming, at least for Saturday and Sunday, so count me in on social things.  Saturday is my 50th-I'm damn happy to be alive- birthday!

Marci and Kay -

get those registrations in!!!  You'll save some money if you do it soon - and saving money is always good  ;D

Plus, we all really want to see you guys there!

Happy almost 50th birthday, Marci.  You don't look that old (seriously) and I'm damn glad you're alive too.  I'm sure others share that sentiment  ;D

Hope you're planning a huge celebration.

I thought Steve was buying all the drinks. 

Do you think it would be ok to stay in another hotel nearby?  I found a great deal about 3 blocks away...

Marci -

guess I didn't read your post correctly.  Didn't realize your birthday is during the symposium - thought it was this coming Saturday  ::)

That's what happens when I try to post before my eyes are fully open - and just a note, the time of my post is Eastern time; Chicago time is an hour earlier. 

Anyway, party @ the symposium sounds great to me.  I'd say Steve should knit you a hat, but that's already been done  ;D

Kay - I think you should gift that free ticket to Lori.  She needs to get to Tim's place and pick up those branches and that bird  ;)  :D

Phyl -

how did the moderator's jet get booked so fast?  I thought only you and Pooter were on it so far  ???

Well if K is paying for a plane ride, I say kick her off the Moderator's Jet and let her fly SW (nothing personal, K) - then take her place, Lori.

I'm sure Phyl would love your company.  You can discuss hijacking - just don't let the pilot hear you  ;)  :D
