                                  research any locations. Copying Robert

                                  recently but got zero interest from
                                  the LNC.<br>
                                  <br>
                                  I found a great place in Oklahoma City
                                  for $79 per night if you all are<br>
                                  interested. Best Western Saddleback.
                                  Nice meeting space and free breakfast.<br>

                                  there didn't seem to panic even with
