Brian, I was there as well. Seemed that all who attended seemed to have a great time. Larry did yeoman's work in setting up the party. And the Billy Goat was an excellent place for the listserve group, even though our resident Firelock salesman groused about it. Greasy food and cheap beer; this group fitted in very well. Too bad Whitaker, Patrick C. and Jesse didn't attend. I know some hoped to meet them in person. Not sure about Patrick and Jesse, but understand the party started after Whitaker's bedtime, one reason he was a no-show. :>) For next year's conference, I'd recommend one of two places; Dick's Last Resort or Dirty Nellie's. Both are on the Riverwalk within walking distance of the Conference hotel, are well-know watering holes among the locals and have seating along the river. Bruce L.

Aloha All, Since nobody mentioned it...I just thought I'd say what a "fantastic" get-together we had at the Billy Goat Tavern in Chicago... It was great to see all the "faces behind the names" at the Billy Goat and partaking in cheese borgas (no fries). I arrived at the party a bit late, but had a fun time with Peter, Larry, Laurie (the Main Aussie), Hugh, and the others. Yes, the Billy Goat was a "dive", but what a great place to hang-out and have a good time... Now, I'm looking forward to San Antonio...Hope someone has a good place in mind to get together again... Mahalo to Larry??? for selecting the place and getting us all together... Brian Brian A.
