Headphoneus Supremus
The firm date for the meet is February 27th.
The meet will be held at the Royal Palm Yacht Club, of which I am a member. There is adequate room and table space for at least 35-40 attendees. There are plenty of tables available as well as lots of AC outlets. There are no stairs to lug equipment up, as the meeting room is right inside the front door.
Cost for the facility is $15 per person. This includes a soup/salad/sub buffet with coffee, tea and cookies included.
Tax and gratuities are also included in the $15.00.
For those who might wish to stay overnight either before or after, there are several nearby hotels, all of which are within 5-10 minutes. The closest is about 4 blocks away and is located on the water. Cost is $109. The costs of the other nearby hotels range from $49 (Motel 6) to about $125 (Best Western, on the water).
If anyone is interested, please drop me an email or PM so I can plan on how much food will be needed.
Looking forward to seeing you here in Fort Myers!
