This is a great idea - sounds fairly simple too. Have a signin book to see who visited. Hopefully I'll get to go next year. Of course I say that every year... and have for the past ten.See you at the Out-post...Happy Wednesday Everyone! j-----Original Message-----From: histonet-bounces@lists.utsouthwestern.edu[mailto:histonet-bounces@lists.utsouthwestern.edu]On Behalf Of GregDobbinSent: Wednesday, September 29, 2004 5:25 AMTo: ajennings@unmc.eduCc: histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.eduSubject: RE: [Histonet] Histonet and NSH ConventionsHere is how simple it can be: have a table or little kiosk affair set up and call it the Histonet "Out-post" (clever eh?), and that's it! Then Histonetters can stop by the Out-post anytime they wish; to hang out, finish their coffee or whatever and can expect that anyone else they meet there is someone they are probably familiar with from the Histonet!Organizing an "event", even a small one can be a huge task especially at a large convention like ours. I think the "KISS" principle applies here (i.e. keep it simple stupid). And the Out-post idea should not be too burdensome or taxing (with conflicting meetings, etc.), because I think most everyone at least takes coffee breaks!What really sucks about all this, is you all will organize something for next year and by the time I'm able to get to another convention the whole idea will have fizzled again! :-(  I think I need a little cheese with that w(h)ine!Have a nice day!GregTo:             	histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.eduFrom:           	ajennings@unmc.eduDate sent:      	Tue, 28 Sep 2004 15:10:28 -0500Subject:        	RE: [Histonet] Histonet and NSH Conventions> > > > > I remember one time, we all met in a big room, that wasn't quite big enough> for all of us that showed up.
