After a hotel breakfast of eggs and bacon I went down and set up the recording equipment to capture Bill Price for his gesneriad talk. i hope the mike worked. This was my first time and I'm not sure all went well. ll Cenci ran out of memory on his video camera so it will be interesting. At least we will have the powerpoints to see if we can do something with all this. I went to the auction luncheon which was entertaining but not worth $38. each. I watched the Penny Kerker panel but did not do any recording about how to package plants for show. In the evening we went over to the Marriott for the Murder at the Marriott dinner and play. it was fun. I had two guys assigned to me playing movie producers who I introduced to the library group. They did a good job convincing the group they were really producers. The table next to ours were convinced these two were not plants, they were legitimate. Dinner at the Marriott was fish with veggies and a salad. A mousse was dessert. After the dinner we found from Steve that we were bumped from the balloon ride, the basket was full. Oh well, we saved $400.
