PM Orcin if you need a list of hotels, directions, or have other questions.
We can always use more folding tables, card tables, etc. so bring 'em if you got 'em.
We'll try to organize a dinner after the meet just like last year. I think the pub will still let us in.
Someone please bring a fire extinguisher or two... you know who you are.
Snacks are good, especially that sausage and cheese! Mmmm...
Post here if you are interested, so we can work the crowd into a frenzy by October. Hope to see you there! More details to follow.
