<html><body><div>Hi Bill, et, al,</div><div><br></div><div>I hope you know I have got your back on helping to setup, promote, bring systems, etc... The sooner it is planned the better so I can work it into my schedule though. I am good with a Davis, West Sac or Sac location.<br><br>On Jan 21, 2013, at 01:30 AM, Bill Kendrick <nbs@sonic.net> wrote:<br><br></div><div><blockquote type="cite"><div class="msg-quote"><div class="_stretch"><br> Happy New Year every one!<br> <br> Our friends at <a href="http://SacGeeks.com" data-mce-href="http://SacGeeks.com">SacGeeks.com</a> -- specifcally, Stephanie (whom I first met when<br> she came to the 2nd(?)

Sounds like 'yes' on both parts.<br> <br> <br> Now, holding an Atari Party outside of Davis increases logistical problems<br> for _me_ (and in the past, I've brought at least 50%, if not the bulk, of<br> the equipment coming to the event -- and usually had to get help from<br> someone with a truck or station wagon :) )<br> <br> However, it sounds like it could be a great opportunity, since the<br> facility sounds way more impressive than the single room, small<br> building, or room-and-some that I've had at the past here in Davis<br> (library before renovation, building at a city park, and library after<br> renovation, respectively).<br> <br> So... thoughts?<br> <br> -- <br> -bill!<br> Sent from my computer<br> _______________________________________________<br> atariparty mailing list<br> <a href="mailto:atariparty@lists.sonic.net" data-mce-href="mailto:atariparty@lists.sonic.net">atariparty@lists.sonic.net</a><br> <a href="http://lists.sonic.net/mailman/listinfo/atariparty" data-mce-href="http://lists.sonic.net/mailman/listinfo/atariparty">http://lists.sonic.net/mailman/listinfo/atariparty</a><br></div></div></blockquote></div></body></html>
