I hope to go to this MACNA, it would be great to meet the TR people! But it is still in the budget committee awaiting approval

Geez, that's great list. Maybe I should look into MACNA where I can't make it to IMAC.

Merlin98 is an unknown quantity at this point
Even though I'm a Noob here, I'll be there, like to meet up with some of you. I only live about 35 min. away. I can't wait.

Dinner at MACNA

As a newer member to this site I was glad to see so many of you are coming to the MACNA meeting in Pittsburgh. I was thinking it might be a nice idea to all have dinner together one night to meet face to face and discuss ideas, problems, etc. I noticed when I reserved my hotel room that there is a restaurant in the hotel. Doesn't look too fancy - serves "American" entrees, but at least we wouldn't have to drive anywhere. I'd be willing to keep a list of RSVP's and make a group reservation if others were intersted. (Although I am not the most organized person...) Does this sound like something anyone else would like to do? What night would be best for everyone? I was thinking either Thursday or Friday might be nice. If you want to bring a spouse/guest I'd say that's fine, but we'll probably bore them with our discussion. Maybe they can sit at their own table!

Southwest Airlines has labeled Pittsburgh a "Featured Destination" which makes some flights to MACNA pretty cheap right now.

Be sure to purchase your tickets to MACNA 19 before the end of the month to beat the price increase.

I am definitely going to MACNA! We need to plan the TR/DIBS get together to meet each other in person! I may be looking for a non-smoking lady for a room mate.

I posted in the other thread to try Hotwire. Last week I got the Holiday Inn Parkway East for $50 a night. It is only 5 miles away from the conference center.
