Dear Jeff;
This sounds okay to me. Rod O'Riley is the one who needs to answer the
questions about the setup, since he was in charge of the Awards
presentations at ConFurence 2002 & 2003 and he knows what is needed. We
will notify you of the five finalists in each category as soon as they are
determined, so preparations can begin for an audio-visual presentation of
the nominees at the presentations ceremony.
I am still hoping to be able to attend C-ACE, and I do not know when I
will find out whether I can afford to or not. Hopefully by the beginning of
April. If I can attend, I will bring the trophies with me. However, I feel
that I should be a co-presenter at most, and that a C-ACE Committee
representative (presumably you) as the host should also be a presenter of
the Awards.
If I cannot attend C-ACE, is there anyone else on the Awards Committee
or in the Awards Discussion Group who will be at C-ACE and would like to
participate in the presentations?
Best wishes;
Fred

Subject: [UMA-discussion] Ursa Major scheduling at CACE (plus questions)
Hello, everyone;
I tentatively have the Ursa Majors scheduled for the Hudson/Frobisher
room at 7 to 8 PM on Saturday. This will immediately precede the
masquerade, so a good number of people will be stopping by early to get
a seat who wouldn't otherwise attend. This also gives time for people to
grab a bite to eat before the Awards are given out. I think it's a good
time, but please let me know if you have any thoughts on this.
The room itself is 1700 sq ft. What kind of set-up do you have in mind?
We have a projector and screen available for your use. Will someone
from the committee be attending to present the awards, or will someone
from CACE staff have to MC? Thanks for any feedback. I look forward to
more in-depth discussions about the logistics of getting things prepared
for the awards. :)
Best;
Jeff
Errrrrr, well...
I just did some on-line pricing for airline tickets. I WANT to go, but whether
or not I go depends
on if I can save up the 500-plus dollars for a plane fair. I sincerely hope
there is a price war
between now and the end of April...
If I do go, I will probably set up the show very similar to what we did at
ConFurence 2004. Which
means I will need to borrow either someone's lap-top or a small computer, with
a Zip drive. I will
have the presentation 'cue cards' on PowerPoint.
