No. Unless the ICCA thing falls through. If it does, then I will organize it any way I see fit but of course I would want it to be something everyone would want to come to. If the ICCA sanctions it they will organize it and I will help if they want me to. I'll tell them you are willing to help if you can. >If so, why don't you specify it however you want?

The hotel thing worries me. In Boston things are high but we might negotiate a better price. The Mariott is the closest but it's also the highest priced! We will probably solicit people to share their homes for those who cannot afford lodging. I am also offering to share my apartment with one or two folks or more if they don't mind sleeping on the floor! >Oh yes, and please let the Red Sox be in town on one of the off days, but this >is probably asking too much :-) > >If you need any help, please let me know. > >bruce
