The Smiley Smile Message Board

Hello, friends.  First the good news: Due to a change in schedule, David and Carrie Marks WILL be joining us on Saturday!  David will narrate a slide presentation including pictures that haven't been seen before.  Of course, the day will also feature Andrew G. Doe, Domenic Priore, and phone calls from Al Jardine and Billy Hinsche, as well as live music from Duophonic.  It's a full day, folks!

Remember that we will go from 10 AM until about 10:30 PM, with a 3-hour acoustic sing-along planned for the evening.  I will have an extra guitar, but you should bring yours if you've got one.  Song books will be provided.

There will be some merchandise available, including a very limited number of convention T-shirts, but we will not be able to accept credit cards.  Please bring cash for all merchandise, registration, etc. 

There will be a brief lunch break and a longer dinner break.  Neither meal is included in the price of registration, although both can be had right across the hall from our convention room; you will need to bring money to feed yourself.  If you do not want to eat at the hotel there is a McDonalds and other restaurants closeby.  The hotel features a nice bar right across the hall from the convention room, and it is perfectly okay for guests to bring beverages across the hall.  The hotel restaurant and lounge will both take credit cards.

Finally, should you decide you want to stay over the night before and/or the night of the convention, there are still rooms available starting at $98 per night.  Contact the Crowne Plaza Southbury CT (http://www.ichotelsgroup.com/h/d/cp/1/en/rates/hvnsb?ias=y&availCheckCaching=n&_requestid=293527) for reservations [203-277-6963].

NOTE TO POTENTIAL WALK-UPS AND LATE REGISTRANTS:  I will be away from a computer as of noon on Friday.  Therefore, if you want to pre-register, it MUST be done before midnight Thursday.  You can PayPal the $50 registration fee to me at hobielang@aol.com.  That's also the address for any last-minute questions.  Of course, you may pay at the door as well.

I'm looking forward to seeing many of you on Saturday; travel safely!

Susan

Sounds like so much fun. Wish I could make it. Have fun, to those who are able to attend.  :afro :3d :smokin :hat 8)

Thanks.  I wish you could make it, too...

Next year I'll be there, that's for sure...
