The first annual Gathering of chile Heads (courtesy of Jody Baze) is scheduled for Sat. night around 7:00 -7:30ish. Unfortunately, this does sort of conflict with the buyers' coctail party. It isn't also likely that we can change the dates fo the CH gathering as Sat was the most frequently mentioned best date. Ours was scheduled first, they can change theirs :-P The cocktail party also costs $25.00 I think, for which you get to pay additional for a cash bar & hob nob with big wigs. For less than that, you can hang out with CH's & pick your own food, & hang out with people who AREN'T big wigs :-) I rather imagine that the CH gathering will be going on long enough that one could attend both if really set on it. Stop by booth F-32 & check the message board for final details. All attendees from this list are also more than welcome to use it a s a message center for getting note to/for others. I'll be setting 'slow mail' on Wednesday. Hope to see many of you in Albuquerque. Free bread! -Jim C MWPH
