Ahhhhh... the Listserv Party at Conference! One of my most favoritest 
thingys!!!

Well, I guess this year is going to be a bit tougher to organize, as this 
being the 50th year of ARMA, there are planned events "out the wazoo" that 
many of us are going to be attending... especially those in ARMA Leadership 
positions. My understanding is there is a big Shindig planned for Saturday 
evening for present and past leadership and while I don't know the where and 
when of this, likely many of the folks who are "regulars" at the Listserv 
party will out of courtesy (and somewhat, a sense of obligation) be 
attending this function.

I'm hoping Patrick (or one of the other Chicagoans) on the List will be able 
to come up with a suitable venue, hopefully in walking distance or a short 
cab ride, from the hotel and Conference center that 30-50 VERY PARCHED 
individuals could meet at on an ad-hoc basis, because we seldom do this by 
reservation. 

The only time recently we made a formal gathering out of it was in New 
Orleans, where we essentially had a whole club to ourselves for 2-3 hours 
and then strolled down the street to a restaurant "to continue the 
punishment" (5 points to those who can recall the name of the venue in NO; 7 
bonus points to anyone who can also recall the name of the restaurant!!)... 
that year, there were hats and buttons and the whole bit, but I can 
guarantee you I'm not up for trying to do that again... STILL counting my 
losses over the folks who wanted hats that didn't show up or pay!!! =(

So, why don't we continue this thread here... as long as we don't push the 
70 message envelope... or we can move it to the OT Yahoo Group (if it starts 
to get too detailed here).
