1st planning meeting for SoonerCon 2007
Just a reminder... The first "official" Soonercon planning session will be tomorrow night (Sunday) at 7PM in the coffeeshop of our hotel, the Biltmore. The Biltmore is at the NW corner of I-40 and Meridian. Since we're meeting at the hotel, come so you can walk around and scope the place out. If you want to participate in planning the next edition of "the pop culture phenomenon," please join us! We're INCLUSIVE, not EXCLUSIVE. Thanks so much for all who helped with '06. Please feel free to "add your distinctiveness to the collective." (oops, was that a bad metaphor?) Help us with SoonerCon 2007 !
