RE: COMMON Conference locations.

We still need about 2,000 beds and a place to put the butts in the seats 
that is less than a half mile away from the hotels.

I've never been to Williamsburg
Charleston is beautiful, but I don't think the facilities are there.
Portland could be good
Seattle is better, but didn't they buckle under King Bill's pressure and 
ask us not to come there?
I've never been to Corpus, but when I move to Texas in 2 years, I'll 
definitely be checking out the fishing in the Gulf.
I'm not sure if Albuquerque has the facilities
Denver has been done. The convention center is a long walk from the 
hotels. The hotels could be used for meeting rooms, for our current size 
crowd.
Raleigh would be good
Unless it's been redone, the downtown part of St. Louis is like a ghost 
town with lots of empty buildings. I have not been there for 4 years, 
however.
Jacksonville would be good.

You forgot Kansas City and Cincinnati. Both were good venues.

Guess you can tell I travel a lot. When I do, I always look to see if a 
place would be feasible for a COMMON conference.
