         First off, many thanks to Lisa for stepping forth and trying to 
get the dinners organized.

         However, can we honestly expect to have 50-some people "just show 
up" at *any* restaurant during GenCon and have space available for us to 
interact, which (to me, at least) is the whole point of the dinner?

         I haven't noticed any problems with space at Barley's in the past, 
but then again, after a couple of ginger ales, I don't notice much.:-)

         At the *very* least we need to reserve space ahead of time. Even 
if there's no pre-paid dinner at Origins, I think someone should pick up a 
phone and reserve us the downstairs room at Barley's (and the separate room 
at John Hawkes in Milwaukee, for that matter).
         If I can help, Lisa, please let me know.
