The funny story is begging to be told.... and can best be initiated by asking
the simple question,

"Why isn't the convention on the last weekend of February?"

Do you recall the group that ran the lingerie party last weekend? Tour de
Sports, right? They're back with roughly double the attandance planned as this
year.

My hotel rep said that the hotel staff would be stretched, and adamantly
suggested we move to a different weekend.

Now, this does allow for some fun with our two local fellows, Mike Hudak and
Mike Pae from Harrisburg. If they head down to Lancaster on the Friday night,
February 23rd expecting to see the likes of me, Mark Kochte, Jerry Han, etc.,
they'll actually be in town for an even bigger lingerie party!

"Gosh, honey, I thought it was the last weekend in February, but it's next
weekend. We did get to talk to some English fellow
on holiday in the States."  :-)

See you in March!

That's what I like about you Jon, always looking out for the new guy!

But, as I'm sure there are others that would love the opportunity, are you
SURE you can't have it on the Tour de Sports show weekend? I think Pae and I
can throw some people in our houses if the hotel is desperate.... I think
most people would be staying up at least that first night....  :-)

Is there anything we can do to help, as 'local guys'?

Thanks, Mike. Karen said that is was very likely that Tour de Sports would
need the Army Center room for one of their functions during the weekend and
couldn't guarantee it for us.

I appreciate your offer and generosity.

You can get the word out to other gamers in your area. I'm sure Mike Pae will
want to talk to folks who live FARTHER away from Lancaster than he, so he can
win next year's "Thrust Only Award" for the shortest distance traveled.

Jerry will begin the task of putting a flyer together for distribution. We'd
like for Mike Sarno to take some with him to Cold Wars in a week and a half,
perhaps.

    Sure, just e-mail the master copy to me in enough time to get the
copies made. I'll make sure to distribute them to all the cons I attend this
year.
