If you have a pirate event, schedule Steve Jackson on it.

Coordinate gaming with Kovalic and SJ as well.  Each of them will probably 
want an hour or so in the gaming room.  And SJG has MIBs everywhere.

Who is catering the holy war?  (Fade says she always thought those things were 
more potluck.)

I've generally found the hotel is ok with the idea of using electric devices 
in the con suite if you introduce them to the idea of the "hot plate" and the 
crock pot.

The dinner was always a bone to throw to the hotel's catering department, a 
trade-off so they let us get away with more in the con suite.  It was never a 
money-maker, we always just wanted to break even.
