[Coco] CoCoFest ideas

[Karl Sefcik]

Hey CoCoers,

    I hope this goes through, you see my trail of responses.
   Anyway, long story short, I contacted Park University today, and 
there is a person that handles conferences, he was out today. But 
talking to the person in the alumni office, if we were to meet over the 
summer, they don'
t use all their dorm space, and a newer room could be had for (her 
estimate) about 80/night/2. The older college dorm rooms can be had for 
about $20/night/?, and there could be food service available.  They have 
available rooms in their underground caves, with a door that could be 
locked, tables available, power, etc.
    Anyway, I'll keep poking around, it would be cool to one-up 
Rockhurst and the Apple 2 group.
