List: Meeting all you folks at the luncheon was great! A first-timer myself at the list luncheon, I had read the post before the convention about it being in the exhibit hall, and the time etc. So I found it, after a bit of searching. But I had brought a printed pianotech list post from Dale just to make sure - and might have missed it otherwise. I missed the message John Ross saw or heard at the convention. (Dale apologized on the list for not getting the logistics together as we all had hoped, and credited Gina for not letting the pressure off). On the one hand, the luncheon reflects the informality of the list. On the other, it would be nice to nail down the logistics early, and get the word out (even signs on the day of the event, maybe). This list may be too informal for us to do this, but this year's experience might spur us on to do better next time. Joe, I really liked having the luncheon where we could hear each other - maybe the A440 band is a bit much for anything but yelling (although we do a bit of that on the list). Maybe sometime around February or March we could come to a "consensus" on a fearless leader, someone with the time to get the word out, and the chutzpah to work with the Insitute personnel (Gina had that this year). From my point of view the Institute was such a success that it seems unfair to come down hard on Dale for this, of course; I think we need to get a pianotech list luncheon coordinator appointed next year to take care of the logistics and get the word out. Don't know how I missed meeting you the entire convention, Rob!

Yours included. How about having the meeting during one of the receptions, like in the far right hand of the room when the A440 band is playing? Joe Goss Mother Goose >>
