[GLLUG] Laurel Park Room

[Frank Dolinar]

Hey, folks,
    Tom Skelton is an old friend of mine.
    If you can provide me with some options (he's got a busy schedule) 
for when he can meet with the principals who are trying to get this room 
set up, we might be able to get some problems solved.
    I wouldn't expect that trying to meet with the entire Thursday night 
crew is likely to be particularly productive.
    Besides, if the hotel is presented with a well thought through 
evaluation of the situation, they may decide they'd rather not have 
fuses blowing in the middle of a weekend and help find alternatives.
    And, as another old friend told me once, "Anyone can kvetch.  What 
alternative solutions have you thought of?"
            (..and, no, I don't yet have any alternatives myself, but 
I'm thinking..)
