[Pickup] a favor to ask...

[Bob Rossi]

Hey, all...

I have a favor to ask...
Even if you are not planning to attend Saturday's hat tournament or if
you are waiting to see what the weather will be like, please see if
you have 10 minutes to fill out the 10 question registration survey by
noon on Friday.

Go here: http://iaua.com

Here's why that would be hella helpful:
 - It helps to see who's not going as well as who's going
 - I've added an option that says "If it's nice out, I'll be there"
 - We are also waiting to see what the weather will be like, but we
need to at least know if people will come provided there's good
weather
 - Part of the purpose of the survey is to get feedback that will help
us at our upcoming meeting about summer league 2008
 - We start buying supplies Friday afternoon

About "Supplies!"...
If you'd like to shop at the dollar store or salvation army for funny
prizes and costume accessories on IAUA's budget, shoot me an email now
and join me on friday afternoon or saturday morning.

About the weather...
It's hard to know what will happen.  The current forecast is for
temperatures in the mid 60s and rain showers.  If it's in the mid 60s
but the rain ends Friday night, we might have perfect conditions.  If
instead the weather shifts in the other direction, and it's all rain
and mid 50s, then we won't have a tournament.   I'll send out an email
Friday night and a follow up email Saturday morning.

Thanks!
