RE: COMMON conf room rates....

["Paul Nelson" <nelsonp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The unions around Chicago are almost as bad, but downtown is terrible. I
speak from experience. I spent many years as one of the guys tasked with
setting up the lab rooms.

Picture having to get a union electrician to plug a computer into the wall.
Things got better when we brought a supply of booze for the union stewards
to distribute.

If held in the Chicago area it should be held -outside- city limits-- 
the union regulations in Chicago for conventions (especially exhibit 
setup &c) are said to be among the worst in the nation!  That's why 
so much happens -around- Chicago!

Re: alternate locations--  How 'bout Cincinnati?  Good airport, 
reasonable accomodations, good convention center... things to see and 
do...
