I consider platform and bylaws the meat of the convention that actually allows the delegates to get involved in an active debate.  We could streamline the process a bit though.

  The Saturday and Sunday (Torch Club) morning convention breakfasts are from 7 a.m. to 8:20 a.m. both days. 
 
 Would you join me in urging the convention committee to shorten the business time for platform and bylaws so those breakfasts can start later? We're about to put preliminary schedules in print for LP News.
 
 I'd be willing to bet the overwhelming majority of attendees would rather shorten bylaws and platform debate time by one hour each so we could get up one hour later for breakfast. Platform and bylaws debates always create a lot of complaints from attendees, along the lines of "this is how y'all spend your time?!". I'd shorten them because normal humans aren't interested in the topics, but also to give people an extra hour of sleep. Whole platforms can be eviscerated in minutes, and rebuilt. No need to spend extended hours on it or the bylaws.
 
 Rewarding our best donors (Torch Club) with a 7 a.m. breakfast? That's just cruel in my opinion. 
 
 I'm prepared to lose this argument, so don't stress over it. 
 
 In other Convention news, package sales are outstanding. Much higher than for other conventions 10 weeks out. We'll probably sell out of hotel rooms pretty soon too. Better make your reservation ASAP, or you'll need to find a nearby hotel.
 
 Overall, the convention committee is doing a great job. The convention website is beautiful thanks to Denise.

 Also, Denise has given http://lpstore.org/ a major facelift as well. You can pick up a convention T-shirt there.
