Dennis I don't like to complain but some sort of docx thing that I have to download, open microsoft cripplereader (four minutes to boot I swear) to read a few lines of text in some sort of form that I can't copy or save to another filetype??? Why not just put it in plain text here?

Umm that goes for everyone who likes to post stuff from their office editor... do you know how much time it takes me to strip all the excess code from a microsoft editor document before putting it into EJMAS? Copy and paste into wordpad and copy back again is just the start.

Kim (unka grumpy).

Sorry, sensei, I saved the document to be compatible with previous versions of Word, but I should've just saved as a Word 97-2003 document or WordPad as you suggested. I would've attached it onto my original post, but the forum gods said the file was too big to attach. Besides, there's an e-mail on the announcement that I didn't want to have out in the open in case any spammers get to it.

Here's a .pdf version and a WordPad (Rich Text file) friendly version:

[Halcyon]

so where will the 2013 seminar be?

Returning to Omaha, Nebraska.

[Ralutin]

Returning to Omaha, Nebraska.

Technically, it's Council Bluffs, Iowa, at the same venue as the 2007 camp.

[Halcyon]

Technically, it's Council Bluffs, Iowa, at the same venue as the 2007 camp.

Yup, that's correct. Right across the Nebraska-Iowa border.

[hl1978]

Yup, that's correct. Right across the Nebraska-Iowa border.

I remember it was a nice setup last time and hotels were quite reasonable. I was hoping there would be another east coast summer camp next year, but I guess I will have to wait a few more years.
