There appear to be several people in Dallas, and me in Houston, who are volunteering to help you with the work involved in setting up and coordinating the event. Since you have done it twice and know what's involved, I suggest that after you have confirmed the hotel's ability to accommodate us, you should play more of an executive role, assigning duties and tasks to us individually rather than trying to do it all yourself. So don't feel like you're imposing when you ask me, Jim, or anybody else to do something that requires some time and effort. The reciprocal responsibility for anybody who's asked to do something is to say up front if you're not sure you can do it. If you do accept the task then you have a responsibility to complete it, or to ask for help immediately if it begins to appear you won't be able to. This may seem obvious to some, but in my experience the biggest problem in project management, is the well intentioned individual who accepts a responsibility, then finds himself in an unexpected crunch and doesn't ask for help until it's too late.

I agree with you completely and think this is a great idea. I'll definitely do what you've said. Should have an answer from Embassy Suites early next week and then we'll start planing for LSAF '07.We might assign two people each task to prevent someone inadvertently dropping the ball. Of course, that opens the possibility that each assumes the other will do it, so neither takes action. But I know that in the past, the things that didn't get done fell into my lap. That's OK, but if I get behind then there's no backup. I think that's one of the things that makes the Dallas show so exciting. There are more people that can get involved with show preparation. We'll be able to do more to promote the event. And the market is bigger too, so there will be a bigger turnout. It will stay a grass roots "Woodstock" event. But it will just be bigger with more stuff to see and hear and more people to hang out with!
