Great Tony! This is the earliest we've gotten the basics planned, isn't it? It should make it a lot easier for the membership to make plans. Will be calling to make reservations soon...just a question if any of the spawn want to share a room.

Sharon -- THANKS again for the tip on the venue. This will be excellent.

 

[Jana]

Very exciting. School will be out then in Hillsboro, OR. Look forward to putting faces to names.

Sigh............too far away

Thanks DANO! A room that allows smoking room in CA - unbelievable!!!!!

Well, despite the cardiac drama earlier, will definitely be there. I mean, heck, Monterey? I've loved that town since childhood. No way I'll miss an excuse to return there for a ceph-themed weekend with friends! Not sure if I want to do a lecture this time. I just don't want to do the same lecture every event, and might be too lazy/busy to write a new one about something else from the non-scientific perspective. Oh, wait, got a new idea. Let y'all know soon.

Most excellent ! We will be there with bells on ! And hey, if Erich tries to croak on us, Shanlyn is now a fully fledged nurse!

 

[DWhatley]

Shanlyn is now a fully fledged nurse!

YEA! Greg, with your track record over the last two years, she may need to reconsider and go back to school to become a medical doctor (or at least a nurse practitioner)

 

[sorseress]

Congratulations Shanlyn!

Yes!!!! What a BD gift for Jess! Great timing once again! Just tried to book online and it's coming up booked for that weekend. Did we reserve? Should I put in a call? Is it possible to bunk with someone?

 

[gjbarord]

Perfect timing. I will be getting back from the Galapagos a few days before the Monterey event. Look forward to seeing the old faces and meeting new ones.

Great! Hopefully we'll be meeting a new face too, your fiance.

Yes, as stated, make the call and mention you want the TONMO.com group rate for that weekend. The rooms are held for us until May 19th (15 single bed, 15 double bed) -- if more are needed they'll deal with it based on availability.

We are always willing to double up with someone or a couple...heck, I don't sleep anyway, unless it is in the pool.
