Any other hotel in Bellevue will work.

III. Facility
The current room may change if I can't get a security guard hired.  But here
is what I plan for the current room 27N/Olympic.

It is a large multipurpose presentation room, flat floor, capacity 120
seats, but we'll have about 30-40 tables around the edge in two rows in the
middle.  MS will provide the network (suggestions on configurations
welcome).  MS can provide monitors & keyboards and a Pentium PC preloaded
with Win9x or NT4 sp3 (send request if you haven't already).

Presentation aids available: PC for Power point slides, hooked up to a BarCo
overhead projection to large screen.  Also will have a transparency overhead
projector, paper flip chart and dry erase boards.

Load in on Sunday 3pm-7pm, then Monday 7am+.  Shipto address is TBD, but we
would receive equipment and deliver on Monday morning to the room for you to
unbox.  At 4pm Thursday, I'll have a truck arrive to pick up your packed
boxes for shipping back home.  There is a meeting room in the lobby which
can be schedule with receptionist.

Photocopy is currently available by escort during the day.  I'll try to move
one copier out for our room.

I'm trying to work on getting 24hr access.

I'm also trying to work on a mailing list for info and discussion preceding.
