[Lnc-business] Convention breakfasts 7 a.m. to 8:20 a.m. - total buzz killer

[Wes Benedict]

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.
