that guy who sends multiple emails to a list-serve when most others are
remaining silent. I also recognize that I sometimes vocalize a strong
tone, but I'm trying really hard to patiently understand what we're doing
here. I was very present in <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Orlando</st1:place></st1:City>
and am pretty sure I have not missed a single word of email.<br>
<br>
That being said, this specific email thread was started over two weeks
ago. It was started by Mr. Goldstein as a way to expedite what he (and no
doubt several others) felt should have already been locked down. I
realize the holidays have been upon us, but are we really to believe that each
of us cannot send 30-second-long emails from the convenience of his or her
front pocket?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

would be happy to setup a Doodle Poll (as I believe Mr. Katz suggested at the <st1:City

would be happy if staff simply asked the body - again - what their choice of
the four locations was via email. Either way, if this is to be democratic
(which I don't feel it needs to be) then I would advocate giving members until
December 30th, 11:59pm EST to submit their response and not a second later.<br>

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 <st1:City w:st="on">New
Orleans</st1:City> (close to my parents & great food), <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Las Vegas</st1:place></st1:City> (fun), or DC (I don't have to
pack). I was very pleasantly surprised with how nice <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Phoenix</st1:place></st1:City> 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 <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Oklahoma</st1:place></st1:State>.<br>
<br>
I was previously pushing to combine it with training in <st1:City w:st="on">San
Francisco</st1:City> or <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">L.A.</st1:place></st1:City>,
but could not get consensus. I'd be fine with <st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Washington</st1:place></st1:State> state, personally, but it seems
like a long long way to fly for most people. </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

couple of properties in OKC with rooms at around the $80/night level, free

so. That would be the least expensive LNC meeting in a long time. We could sign
a deal right away if you'd like.<br>

Helms Briscoe says they don't expect proposals the week of Christmas. So, we
can wait to see what comes up with Helms Briscoe later, and compare those to
the OKC options, or go with OKC now. </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Helvetica;color:black'>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 <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">San Francisco</st1:place></st1:City><br>
recently but got zero interest from the LNC.<br>
<br>
I found a great place in <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Oklahoma City</st1:place></st1: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>
