The LNC would not be petitioning. I'm expecting to have enough
signature before then. Some LNC might help with a publicity event on
Friday or Monday if the signatures are ready to turn in. Other press
opportunities might exist. <br>
<br>
I'm fine meeting anywhere. <br>
<br>
My usual first place choices for every meeting are New Orleans
(close to my parents & great food), Las Vegas (fun), or DC (I
don't have to pack). I was very pleasantly surprised with how nice
Phoenix was last March. Loved the hotel. So, if you are worried that
I'm pushing too hard for OKC, it's for the great prices and new LP
activity there, not for me personally, although I have many
relatives in Oklahoma.<br>
<br>
I was previously pushing to combine it with training in San
Francisco or L.A., but could not get consensus. I'd be fine with
Washington state, personally, but it seems like a long long way to
fly for most people. <br>

Helms Briscoe says they don't

February LNC
Meeting<br>
<br>
</span>
<div>
<div>Sam, at
least as of a
week ago I
don't think
staff has been
asked to<br>
research any
locations.
Copying Robert
to verify. I
proposed San
Francisco<br>
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>
Southwest
Airlines
doesn't charge
change fees if
you need to
change your<br>
flight. I flew
into the ice
storm Saturday
after
Thanksgiving
and the people<br>
there didn't
seem to panic
even with
downed power
lines and
trees<br>
everywhere.
Was nice to be
able to change
flight just in
case though<br>
