RE: NOLA/COMMON S06

<<Wasn't COMMON mostly in the Marriott (not the convention center)?  >>

IIRC, the last time the Marriott and the Sheraton (across the street) were 
used was 1993. Come see me in Orlando. I've got some good stories I can 
tell about tree limbs in the IBM delivery truck, porters bouncing AS/400's 
off the truck onto the pavement, laborers jamming the freight elevator 
several times during setup, the PC pitching contest at 3 AM, etc. That was 
an ugly conference in terms of the setup and teardown efforts, but the two 
hotels were a good venue.

See Ken Graap's earlier post about the likelihood of COMMON being able to 
use the convention center next spring.
