Subject: Re: Tempe FUDCon update: Booked Monday rooms at ASU Memorial Union
I have no objections either - sadly, I was gone all week and failed to
read this bucket.
I have the contract from the hotel - unfortunately, she sent it to me
in .docx format, so I need to figure out a place to convert that from,
well, "the dark side into the light!". :)
If anyone would like to volunteer that service to me, let me know. ;)
