I think Ed is talking about how many of the conference hotels had a central bar that was an informal meeting place. People would go out to eat with different groups, but before and after, they would just sit down and introduce themselves or listen to a conversation and jump right in. It was always great to be able to do that, particularly if Ken or YAG or any of the Fox Team happened to be in there, or even the legends like Rick Strahl.
The problem with the dinners is that you can never get everyone at the same table, it's too noisy to carry on a discussion, and it just doesn't achieve the same results as having a meeting place in the hotel.

Definitely within walking distance but most of them are far too small for a group of 20+. A couple had bars but are also small. A couple had outdoor seating, but again small places. Kim and I were talking that if we do this again next year, we'd have a place in mind ahead of time, with printed maps/directions, and phone numbers of local attendees that could help out if attendees get turned around. Live and learn, and learn, and learn. -Kevin Kevin Cully CULLY Technologies, LLC _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
