Left voicemail (and an email) with the events rep for D&B, and I will
pay this tonight or tomorrow (whenever she returns my call).  Will
report back here as soon as that's done.

I've been trying regularly to reach Bruce Barrows at the LMoB office,
who was supposed to work up our quote.  I keep getting his voicemail
but I've left him my cell # so he can reach me here in Utah.  If I
don't get a call back by Monday we'll have to go with another vendor.

I think with the number of travel subsidies still pending we ought to
not be paying for Sunday lunch either.

Oh, I should read further before I type.  Oh well, I'll just run this
email like an IRC discussion for transparency's sake. ;-)  Apologies
-- I meant to bring the D&B contract with me but left it on my desk.

Thus far the kind and benevolent sponsor has not showed up.  I had a
conversation with a potential sponsor here at UTOSC but they
ultimately weren't interested.

I think prudence dictates pizza on Sunday be paid for by attendees.
Organizers collect money and then order.

What was Saturday's lunch again?

What was the pending item here?  The hours are set and done in the ad,
right?

Has Jean-Francois been in touch with anyone to date?
