<DIV>Hi,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I tried to contact the Clarion, since Mark thought it was being remodeled and I could not reach it, period! I think, if I remember correctly, I was told last summer, it was not going to be open this year, since a larger hotel is going up, because it was right next to Petco Field, the new ballpark for the Padres. So let's meet at the Marriot, which is right next to the convention center, look to the north (right) for breakfast Friday morning. We'll be there 7:30, but the door don't open until 10:00, which gives plenty of time for gabbing, for those who can stay! Unlike those of us, who can't! How many are coming? If Eric is staying at the Marriot, he can make arrangments with the restaurant! Ha! Scott Hudlow</DIV></BODY></HTML>
