Hi Dona, Thanks > Barring any problems, I'm thinking I'm more likely to go. So should > I go ahead and reserve a table? I've haven't done this before. Would > it be a problem to "cancel" (un-reserve?) the table if I (or anyone > else) can't make it? Well, it is common sense, if you think your going then go ahead and reserve the table. If there is a problem the show sponsors can be contacted. I noticed the email on the discussion list from a few days ago, that I suppose may have been the germ of this effort, from Carl. I am including his direct email address here. Given that it looks like at least two of you are involved here I think then yes let's get that table reserved and chat it up a bit - wouldn't surprise me if others step up tho help here either. Sound reasonable?
