[penguicon-general] Restaurant guide

[Ron Blanchett]

Penguicon has a GoogleMaps keycode and I did some preliminary work on getting a
restaurant guild going but I found out after a lot of research that the restaurant list I has was
out of date and very inaccurate. If we can get an accurate list of local restaurants I can create
a GoogleMap with our code right on the Con website. Someone also mentioned earlier about
putting reviews on the site, I would like to see people do this. I am the webmaster and can make
it possible but will anyone do it.

I also know that Dan created a resturan list and map for in the program book and sent it to the person
that did the layout work and it was left out.

Hi Seth,

Since you come out to both Penguicon and Confusion, and you are
somewhat inclined to be literary, would you like to volunteer to put
this together?  I'm sure both Confusion and Penguicon would benefit
immensely from this, as their hotels are about four miles apart.

As it was, we were understaffed this year, and towards the end just
didn't have the staff to manage something that could otherwise be
handled by consulting maps.yahoo.com.

This was a new location for us this year, so apart from the couple
restaurants I know in the area, I don't have an encyclopedic knowledge
of the area.  Now did I have the time to compile this myself.

So, yes, a paper document could be quite useful.  Now would someone
like to do this?

Thanks!
