I will be heading off to Europe in July to go to the non-existant APIS in
Oporto. Paid my dues, and got my airfare, and oops... no APIS. Oh well,
Bostick and I have got a nice trip planned and we'll be staying in various
places with some of the really nice folks I met in Bath last year, so it
not a big loss after all. A villa in Florence? I can't believe it.
After the European trip, work will begin in earnest for detailed planning
of the event here in Santa Fe. Reservations will begin to be taken in
September and folks on the list will be given priority as there is only
going to be 200 reservations and we expect them to go fast. We got over 50
folks from out of town to the last Platypus Party which is a good indicator
of the kinds of interest.
We have 100 beds, some double some private room reserved and we can up that
if need be. The cost will be in the $25.00 to $50.00 whether private of
semiprivate, and whether meals in the school cafeteria are added in.
And you can be sure that some of Karl Koenig's gumoils will be availailable
for looking at too!
